The author heard from a trustworthy person, who was formerly superintendent of the jewel-house, that Dara Shukoh left jewels and pearls worth 27 lacs of rupees, belonging to the inmates of his harem, in the jewel-room inside the palace, with the cognizance of the Emperor. After his defeat he found no opportunity of removing them. Shah Jahan, after much contention, perquisition and demanding, sent them to Aurangzeb, with the letter of forgiveness which nolens volens he had written.
