He sent letters to Shah 'Alam, A'zam Tara, and other generals to reinforce him at once with the greatest haste. From this reason we turned right-about-face and came to rejoin Aurangzeb, who had already left Ajmer, and pitched his camp in the same place where Dara was encountered at the second battle. We reached the spot three hours before the arrival of the rebel prince. Aurangzeb, before he marched, had also written to Akbar, and told him that he had heard false reports about his loyalty, and how evil-designing people had written that he had rebelled against his father, one who held him dearer than his soul. He longed to know the truth. If it were the fact that he had rebelled, he asked him the cause of his rebellion. Let him remember that it was not a right thing for a beloved son to rebel, above all at a time when the father, for the glory of his sons, was busy with a grand enterprise. He admonished him that he ought now, at such a time, to abate his ardour and not throw the realm into disorder. Let him keep quiet at present, and allow progress against the Rana to be continued. At a fitting time he would let him see how much he loved him.
