Intelligence arrived that Shah Jahan, with Darab and other fugitives, had passed out of the territory of Kutbu-l Mulk, and was making for Orissa and Bengal. On the way they had to endure great hardships, and many of the rebel’s companions abandoned him when they found opportunity. * * After performing a long march, Shah Jahan arrived at Machhli (Masulipatam), which belonged to Kutbu-l Mulk. When his arrival there became known, Kutbu-l Mulk sent one of his people to the fugitive, and gave him every kind of relief and assistance in money and provisions. He also directed his margrave to convoy the fugitive safely out of his dominions, and he further appointed grain-dealers and zamindars to attend his camp, and supply it with corn and other necessaries. * *]
