The French merchants whom I saw at Dehli, and who came direct from Ispahan, had never heard a syllable of Sultan Sujah's being in Persia. It seems also that his sword and dagger were found soon after his defeat: and if he reached the woods, as some people pretend, it can scarcely be hoped that he escaped; as it is probable he must have fallen into the hands of robbers, or have become a prey to the tigers or elephants which very greatly infest the forests of that country. But whatever doubts may be entertained of the fate of Sultan Sujah, there are none as to the catastrophe which befell his family. When brought back, men, women, and children were all thrown into prison, and treated with the utmost harshness. Some time after, however, they were set at liberty, and used more kindly: the King then married the eldest Princess, and the Queen-mother evinced a strong desire to be united to Sultan Banque. - [Previous: 2.19.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.bernier~en-constable.2.19.4) - [Next: 2.19.6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.bernier~en-constable.2.19.6) - [Up: 2.19](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.bernier~en-constable.2.19) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.bernier~en-constable.2.19.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.bernier~en-constable.2.19.5) · Pramāṇa
