CaHle of Jgr#yto the end he might not be furprizM, but have time and
leifure to obferve how far the infolence of his Children would tranfport them.
As for "Jhireng^eb, who had Morat Bakcbz fafe enough, he enters Agra^ feigning
to believe a report that Chajehan was dead, that he might have liberty to get
into the Fortrefs, where he faid one of the Omrds would make it out. The more
he reported the death of Cha-jehan, the more did the King endeavour to let the
people know he was alive. But finding both Power and Fortune had taken
Jureng-zebh party ^ and being alfo in great neceflity for want of water, he Tent
Fazd'Kan, grand Mailer of his Houfhold, to ahhre his Son that he was alive ^
and withal to tell him that it was the King’s command, that he fhould retire to
his vice-Roy-lhip in Decan, without putting him to any more vexation, and that
upon his obedience, he would forgive whatever had pafh Aurcngaicbfivm in his
refolution, return’d for anfwer to Fazel-Kan^ that he was certain thapthe King,
his Father was dead, and that upon that account he had only taken Arms to fe-
cure the Crown to himfelf, which he thought he deferv’d, as well as the reft of
his Brothers. That if his Father were living, he had too great a refpect for him
to undertake the leaft enterprize that fhould difpleafe him ^ and therefore f hat
he might be certain he was not dead, he defir’d to fee him, and to kifs his feet;
and having fo done, he would retire to his Government, and punctually obey his
Commands. Fazcl-Kan return’d this anfwer to the King, who declared that he
I fhould be glad to fee his Son, and fent back Fazel-Kan, to tell him he fhould be
welcome. But Aareng-zeb more cunning than Cha-jehan, allur’d Fazel-Kap that
he would not fet his foot in the Caftle, till the Garrifon that was in, it fhould be
lent away to make room for his men. For the Prince was afraid,and not without
reafon, if he ihould adventure into a Fortrefs where he was not abfolute Maftef
himfelf, left they fhould feize his perfon, of which the King being apprehenlive,
confented to his propofal, not being able to do better at that time. Thereupon
tne Garrifon which belong’d to Cha-jehan was Tent out of the Caftle, and another
of Jareng-wh's enter’d, commanded by Saltan Mahomet the eldeft of his Sons,
to whom he gave order to fecure his Father’s perfon. When they were thus got
in, and his Father fafe,he delaid feeing his Father from day to day,waiting (as he
gave out for excufe) a kind opportunity for the enteryiew , and pretending his
Ahrologers did not prefently think it feafonable, he retir’d into the Countrey,to
a Houfe about two or three leagues from Agra, which very much difpleafed the
people, who waited every day for the fortunate hour, from which they expefted
a conclufion ot their miferies by the Father and Son’s difcourfe together. But
Ameng^eb, who was in no great haft to fee his Father, took up another refolu
tion, which was to feize upon all his Fathers treafure, which Dara-Sha had not
time to carry away. He alfo fhut up in the fame Fortrefs Begum Courteous or formal title for (usually Muslim) women of elite status, especially of Turko-Mongol lineage. -Sahebhxs Sifter,
