[Text, vol. ii. p. 637.] By the reports of the commanders in Balkh and Badakhshán, the Emperor was informed that 'Abdu-l 'Azíz Khán, governor of Túrán, * * intended to invade Balkh at the beginning of spring. On the 15th Muharram Prince Aurangzeb was sent on to Balkh with a body of Imperial soldiers, and the Emperor himself determined to leave Lahore and go to Kábul for the third time.
