Things were in this condition when Shah 'Alam, assuming that Shiva Ji must be now satisfied, wrote him one more letter begging him not to delay his arrival, for he (Shah 'Alam) began to fear his father might discover the plot he had in hand. Shiva Ji replied that he was then ready to move, but he wanted an assurance that Rajah Jaswant Singh and the other officers had declared themselves on the prince's side. When he was quite certain of this, he would most certainly appear in the imperial camp with all his army. Satisfied with such a response, Shah 'Alam began to talk to Rajah Jaswant Singh, who, not being well affected to Aurangzeb, accepted the proposal at once. Thus, one by one, all of them subscribed the document, in which Shah 'Alam made separate promises to each.
