After the last communication the Prince gave orders, directing Muhammad Sultan to enter his territory with the Imperial troops. On receiving the above farmán with the alarming intelligence of Muhammad Sultan's approach at the head of the royal forces, Kutbu-l Mulk awoke from his deep sleep of arrogance and conceit, and sent off Mir Jumla's son, along with his mother and connexions.

Nevertheless as Kutbu-l Mulk, with grasping avarice, still retained the goods and property belonging to Mir Jumla and his son, and would not deliver them up, the illustrious Sultan set out for the city of Haidarabad. - [Previous: 30.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.shahjahan.shahjahannama-inayat-khan~en-elliot.30.2) - [Next: 30.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.shahjahan.shahjahannama-inayat-khan~en-elliot.30.4) - [Up: 30](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.shahjahan.shahjahannama-inayat-khan~en-elliot.30) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.shahjahan.shahjahannama-inayat-khan~en-elliot.30.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.shahjahan.shahjahannama-inayat-khan~en-elliot.30.3) · Pramāṇa
