At the same time, letters were received from people in the Dakhin, especially from Malik 'Ambar the Abyssinian requesting the Prince's return towards the Dakhin. Shah Jahan, after retreat, summoned Darab Khan who, after taking oaths, had been left as Governor of Bengal, in order to join the Prince in his march. Darab Khan, owing to his disloyalty and knavery putting a wrong interpretation on his call, replied that the zamindars, surrounding him on all sides, had cut off ways of his march, and that, therefore, his egress being difficult, he begged to be excused. Shah Jahan losing all hopes, of Darab's arrival, and having no body of troops capable of action, was obliged with a sorrowful heart, and in an anxious mood, after leaving Darab Khan's son in charge of Abdullah Khan, to march towards Akbarnagar (Rajmahal). From thence carrying all household paraphernalia, which had been left there, Shah Jahan marched back towards the Dakhin by the same route that he had come. Abdullah Khan, on knowing the disloyalty and villainy of Darab Khan, slew the latter's grown-up son, and satisfied his grudge. Although Shah Jahan sent orders to prevent the son being killed, these had no effect. - [Previous: 92.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.east.riyaz-al-salatin~en-abdus-salam.92.3) - [Next: 92.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.east.riyaz-al-salatin~en-abdus-salam.92.5) - [Up: 92](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.east.riyaz-al-salatin~en-abdus-salam.92) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.east.riyaz-al-salatin~en-abdus-salam.92.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.east.riyaz-al-salatin~en-abdus-salam.92.4) · Pramāṇa
