'Amal-i Sálih, of Muhammad Sálih Kambu (Elliot & Dowson, extracts) 7 - **Language:** English ### [7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.shahjahan.amal-i-salih~en-elliot.7) \[After the defeat of Shah Shuja', and the return of Aurangzeb to Agra, the Emperor sent a force \* \* to inflict salutary punishment upon Raja Jaswant. The Raja feeling himself unable to resist, in his great perplexity and alarm, sent some of his servants to Dara Shukoh, who, previous to the Raja's flight, had arrived at Ahmadabad, and, without waiting to recover from his toilsome journey through the sandy desert, was busily occupied in gathering forces. \* \* Dara Shukoh, having satisfied himself by taking from the promise-breaking Raja a covenant which the Raja confirmed with the most solemn Hindu pledges, marched towards his country. The Emperor was meanwhile moving towards Raja Jaswant's territory, and he wrote the Raja a letter, in which expostulations and threats were mingled with kindness. This letter greatly alarmed the Raja, so that he departed from Dara and returned to his own country. Making use of Mirza Raja Jai Singh, he wrote a penitent and submissive letter to the Emperor, begging forgiveness for his offences; and the Emperor in his clemency forgave him, granted him the subadari of Ahmadabad, and sent him a farman, bestowing honours and promising favours.\] - [Previous: 6.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.shahjahan.amal-i-salih~en-elliot.6.4) - [Next: 8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.shahjahan.amal-i-salih~en-elliot.8) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.shahjahan.amal-i-salih~en-elliot.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.shahjahan.amal-i-salih~en-elliot.7) · Pramāṇa
