Aurangzeb, owing to the death of the Persian king, found himself no longer in need of Rajah Jai Singh's services \[for a Persian campaign\]; and he had suspicions that the flight of Shiva Ji had been manipulated by that rajah. He ordered Jai Singh to return to court, and on the road caused poison to be given to him, from which he died at Burhanpur; thus was he rewarded for the great services he had rendered. The rajah might have killed Aurangzeb when he came across him near the Lakhi jungle, during the king's march against Shah Shuja', and could have done the deed in perfect safety. He had been counselled to do it by his officers, as I have already said in the Second Book of my First Part (I. 220). Thus, too, was the rajah rewarded for deserting Sulaiman Shukoh, son of Dara, in obedience to a simple letter sent to him by Aurangzeb. Thus did Aurangzeb reward the fidelity with which this rajah governed Dihli while he was in pursuit of Shah Shuja'. Thus did he reward the skill with which the rajah obtained the delivery of Sulaiman Shukoh when he had sought shelter in the mountains of Srinagar. Thus did he reward the valour and determination with which the rajah went against Shiva Ji, and the expenditure by which Shiva Ji's submission was secured. - [Previous: 127](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.127) - [Next: 128.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.128.2) - [Up: 128](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.128) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.128.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.128.1) · Pramāṇa
