Storia do Mogor (Irvine) 152 - **Language:** English ### [152](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.152) Shiva Ji had no idea of allowing his soldiers' swords to rust. He therefore asked the King of Gulkandah to grant him a passage on his way to a campaign in the Karnatik against certain princes who had risen against Bijapur and Gulkandah. The King of Gulkandah having consented to his passing through, he came to the Karnatik, and there, by his valour and determination, he took a great fortress called Gingi (Jinji). It includes seven fortifications upon hills. There are many princes in the Karnatik, but they would not agree to a joint defence; then he, like a dexterous falcon, pounced upon them, and took many other fortresses of great value, and lands containing many subjects of the Bijapur kingdom. By these victories he increased his strength, and subsequently was able to resist the armies of Aurangzeb. But in the course of these victories he met with one cause of vexation, for his son, Sambagi (Sambha Ji), was a man of unruly habits, who seized other men's wives. This gave rise to complaints from the officers and others; and their dissatisfaction was likely to be the cause of great injury to Shiva Ji, if thereby any revolt were occasioned. Finding that Sambha Ji would not listen to his words, his father decided to have him seized and sent as a prisoner to some fortress. He intended then to leave the crown to his younger son, called Ram Raja, in these days known under the designation of Shiva Ji. But Sambha Ji became aware of his father's intentions, and knowing that the king (? Aurangzeb) would be delighted to have him within his territories, he made an appeal to him, and was received most amicably. - [Previous: 151](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.151) - [Next: 153](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.153) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.152](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.152) · Pramāṇa
