Thus was it with Sambha Ji. Habituated to interfering with other men's wives, now when it had become necessary to act the hero, he could not rid himself of his perverse inclinations. This was the cause of his losing liberty and life. Kab Kalish availed himself of this evil propensity to deliver him into the hands of Aurangzeb. He told Sambha Ji that two leagues away there was a village where abode a lovely married woman. This was enough. Sambha Ji resolved to halt at this place, in order to secure his impure desires. As soon as Kab Kalish knew his master's resolve, he warned Aurangzeb to send at once five thousand horsemen, and without fail Sambha Ji would fall into his power. The eager king did not fail to send the soldiers, who awaited in ambush the coming of Sambha Ji. The latter quitted his soldiers, and followed by a few men, came to meet his doom. Before he had reached the village in question, he found himself encircled by his enemies, who took him and carried him away to the camp of Aurangzeb. - [Previous: 193.8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.193.8) - [Next: 194.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.194.2) - [Up: 194](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.194) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.194.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.194.1) · Pramāṇa
