her army. An English writer says—"immediately the beautiful
Ranee went over the field and made a firm stand against the array

coming thinner and thinner, the Ranee was seen in the foremost
rank, rallying her shattered troops and performing prodigies of
valour, The dauntless and heroic Ranee held her own."
