He marched, carrying with him his three sons, Shah 'Alam, A'zam Tara, and Kam Bakhsh, also his grandsons. He had with him much treasure, which came to an end so thoroughly during this war that he was compelled to open the treasure-houses of Akbar, Niir Jahan, Jahangir, and Shahjahan. Besides this, finding himself with very little cash, owing to the immense expenditure forced upon him, and because the revenue-payers did not pay with the usual promptitude, he was obliged at Aurangabad to melt down all his household silverware. In addition to all this, he wanted to empty the great store-houses filled with goods left by deceased persons, or with property collected in Akbar, Jahangir, and Shahjahan's time from the men, great or small, who had been servants of the State. But afterwards he ordered these store-houses not to be opened, for he rightly feared that, he being absent, the officials would embezzle more than the half. - [Previous: 176.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.176.4) - [Next: 177.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.177.1) - [Up: 176](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.176) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.176.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.176.5) · Pramāṇa
