the Hiftory of the Late Revolution
made birr coiifcrst to tbeir demands. Sepe-Chekoub, who was advertifea of it, fled
through the mid if of thofe horrid Countries and tearful Defarts, towards the great
Libet But the Son of the Raja King , fbon purfuing and overtaking him, caufed him to be
a {faulted with Hones. The poor Prince was hurt feized, and earned to vvheiEe
he was imprifon’d in Serengmf, that little Fortrefs, where at hr If- they had put MdiW-
d Aurem-Zebe, to obferve what he had pra&ifed towards 'Dara, and that no body
mieht doubt it was Solman-CheLouh himfelf,' commanded him to be brought before
him in the prefence of all the Grandees of the Court. At the entry of the Gate, the
Chains were taken from his feet, leaving thofe he had about his hands, which feemed
gilt. When this proper young Man, fo handfome and gallant, was feen to enter,
there was a good number of Omrahs that could not hold their tears ? and, as 1 was in
formed, all the great Ladies of the Court, that had leave to fee him come in, fella
weeping. Aureng-Zebe, who appear’d himfelf to be touched at his misfortunes, began
to fpeak very kindly to him, and to comfort him s telling him amongft other things,
that he fhould fear nothing, that no hurt fliould be done to him-, on the contrary,
that he fhould be well treated , and therefore be of good courage -> that he had caufed
his Father to be put to death for no other reafon, than that he was turn’d Kafer, and
a Man without Religion. Whereupon this young Prince returned him the Salem, and
bleffed him, abating his hands to the earth, and lifting them , as well as he could,
up to his head, after the cuftom of the Country i and told him with refolution enough,
That if he were to drink the Fouft, he intreated him that he might dye prefently,
bein? very willing to fubmit to his Fate. But Aunng-Zebe promifed him publickly,
that he fhould drink none of iti that he fliould reft fatisfied as to that, and not en
tertain any fad thoughts about it. This being faid,he once more repeated the Salem ':
And after they had asked lym feveral Queftions, in the Name of Aureng-Zebe, touch
ing that Elephant which was charged with Roupies of Gold, taken from him when
he went to Serenaguer^ he was fent to Gouahor to the reft. This Fouft is nothing elfe
elfe but Poppy expreffed, and infufed a night in water. And ’tis that potion, which
thofe that are kept at Goualeor, are commonly made to drink } I mean, thofe Princes,
whofe heads they think not fit to cutoff: This is the firft thing that is brought them
in the morning, and they have nothing given them to cat ’till they have drunk a great
cup full of it i they would rather let them ftarve. This emaciates them exceedingly,
and makeththem dye infenfibly, they lofing little by little their ftrength and under-
ftanding, and growing torpid and fenfelefs. And by this very means ’tisfaid, that
Sepe-Cbekpttb , and the Grand-child of Morad-Rahfbe , and Soliman-Cbekoub , were
difpatch’d.
As to Mdrad-Bakcbe, he was made away by a more violent death. For Aumg-
Zekfeeing, that though he was in prifon, yet the generality had an inclination to him,
and that many Verfes were fpread in the praifeof his Valour and Courage, thought
himfelf not fafe enough by putting him to death in private, by giving him Feufl like
others apprehending, that his Death would be ftill doubted of, and that that might
on^ time or other occafion feme commotion, and therefore devifed the following
Charge againft him.
.The Children of a certain Sayed, very rich, whom he had caufed to be put to death
in Amadevad, to get his Eftate, when he there made his preparations for War, and
borrowed or took by force great Sums of Money from all the rich Merchants, ap
peared in full A’ftlmbly, making their complaints, and demanding Juftice, and the
Head of Morad-Bahbe, for the Blood of their Father. Notone of the Omrabs dim!
contradidf it, both becaufe he was a Sayed, that is, one of Mahomet's Kindred, to
whom great Veneration was paid *, and that every body fnfliciently underftood thede-
fign of A ureng-Zabe, taking this fora pretence to rid himfelf openly oi Morad-Bakche,
under a fhew of Juftice. So that the Head of him, that had killed the Father oi the
Plaintiffs, was granted them without any other form of Procefs. Whereupon they
went, with neceffary Orders iffued out for that purpofe, to cut it off hvGouakor.
There remained no other Thorn in the Foot of Aureng-Zebe but Sultan Sujab, who
kept himfelf ftill in Bengalee but he alfo was forced to yield at laft to the power and
fortune of Aurer.g- Zebe. There were fent fo many Troops of all forts to Emir-Jemla,
ihat at laft he was encompaiTed on all ftdes, both on this and that fide oi the River
