Meanwhile, the army was thrown into the utmost confusion: the great men assembled to pay their court, and present their offerings on the occasion; the customary prayers were read from the Koran; the Khootba was formally pronounced in the name of Rookn Khan; and the public criers were ordered to proclaim his accession. The Prince, now descending from the throne, proceeded towards the haram; but Mullik Deenar, the chief eunuch, with his guard, stopped him at the door, swearing, that till he showed him Alla-ood-Deen's head, he should not enter while he had life to oppose it. Alla-ood-Deen, meantime, having recovered his senses, and having had his wounds bound up, imagined that Rookn Khan's treason must be connected with a preconcerted conspiracy of the nobles, and determined to fly to his brother, Aluf Khan, at Jhayin, accompanied by about 60 servants, who still remained with him. Mullik Humeed, deputy door-keeper of the presence, strongly dissuaded the King from this measure, and recommended him immediately to go to his own camp, and there show himself to the army; observing, that the usurper had not yet had time to establish himself, and that upon seeing the Emperor's canopy, he doubted not but the whole army would return to their duty; adding, at the same time, that the least delay might render his affairs irrecoverable. - [Previous: 37.3.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.37.3.5) - [Next: 37.3.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.37.3.7) - [Up: 37.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.37.3) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.37.3.6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.37.3.6) · Pramāṇa
