He also feared that the prince, to revenge himself on his father for breaking without cause the peace with Gulkandah, might send some succour in secret to that king. Aurangzeb therefore determined to make Shah 'Alam a prisoner. Some scent of this resolve of Aurangzeb was perceptible, and Shah 'Alam's eldest son, called Sultan Mu'izz-ud-din, wanted to end the business by killing his grandfather. But though he was a resolute young man, he would not do it without communicating with his father. He quoted to him as a precedent how his grandfather had not spared his brothers nor his father, nor Sultan Muhammad (his son). Equally they ought not to spare him, for he had fallen short in his behaviour to the King of Gulkandah. But Shah 'Alam, a benign and tender-hearted prince, forbade any such attempt, saying that he had no wish to leave such a bad example to posterity. - [Previous: 192.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.192.1) - [Next: 192.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.192.3) - [Up: 192](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.192) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.192.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.192.2) · Pramāṇa
