At this time Aurangzeb wrote a letter and made it over to the Master of the Horse, a big, tall man who attended the king when he rode out. It was this man himself who told me the story. He was directed to place the said letter between two tombs, and remain there on the alert to notice if during the night the tombs made any movement, as if striking each other. He put the letter between the two tombs, but saw no movement whatever the whole night through. Reporting this to the king, Aurangzeb declared that Akbar would never come to meet him with his army. All the same, he did not slacken his efforts, sending a flying camp on ahead to watch the movements of Akbar's force.
