These orders were that, ceasing to campaign against the territories of Shiva Jī, our army should proceed to the conquest of Visapur (Bijapur, Vijayapura). The rajah started at the head of fifty thousand horsemen, relying upon his knowledge of the fact that the greater number of the Bijapur generals were on Aurangzeb's side. We were on our way when a letter arrived from Sargecan (Sharzah Khan), a Pathan by race and captain-general of the Bijapur king, addressed to Diler Khan, to the following effect : ' Valorous and loyal general, Diler Khan ! I do not write to Rajah Jai Singh but to you, we being of one race and of one faith. For this reason I believe that \[107\] you will give ear to my words. I pray you as a favour to so arrange that Rajah Jai Singh obtains from King Aurangzeb orders to desist from this war. For the King of Bijapur is of the same sect of the faithful, and up to this time has never evaded the payment of the agreed tribute. If you are not able to secure this, I shall be forced to do what in me lies to defend this kingdom. Nor must you take it ill if I oppose your division or succeed in routing you, and deprive you of the glory that by a victory you would obtain.' - [Previous: 121.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.121.7) - [Next: 122.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.122.2) - [Up: 122](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.122) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.122.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.122.1) · Pramāṇa
