Muntakhab al-lubab 7: March against Murad Bakhsh.

7

[vol. ii. p. 6.] On the same day that Sulaiman Shukoh and Raja Jai Singh were sent against Muhammad Shuja', Maharaja Jaswant Singh and Kasim Khan, with the royal artillery and with several thousand horse and some guns of their own, and attended by several amirs of repute, were ordered to march to Ahmadabad and the Dakhin. Their instructions were that they were to ascertain the true state of affairs, and if Muhammad Murad Bakhsh should move from Ahmadabad, Kasim Khan was to advance with several amirs and some guns to meet and receive him. After receiving intelligence of Prince (Murad Bakhsh's) departure from the Dakhin, Maharaja Jaswant Singh was to act according to circumstances. If Prince Aurangzeb should begin to move from the Dakhin, the Maharaja and Kasim Khan were to lead all the royal forces across his line of march, and give him battle when opportunity offered. Dara Shukoh made the province of Malwa his own ikta', and devoted the whole of the revenues to the payment of his officers, so that, their hopes being excited by the riches of that country, they might heartily support each other, and strengthen the army in prosecuting the war.
It also came to hearing that Dara Shukoh had imprisoned 'Isa Beg, the vakil of Aurangzeb, and had sequestered his house.
