Up to this day he prospers; but we can only judge finally after his death. This noble will indeed be a phoenix in the reign of Aurangzeb, whose renown others may recount hereafter, if he ends his life felicitously \[249\]. As Aurangzeb wanted to catch the lion's whelp before he grew up, he sent an army into the Choromandal Karnatik to prevent Shiva Ji's \[i.e., Ram Raja's\] departure from Jinji. He hoped to destroy him within that great fortress. For this purpose he sent Julfecercan (Zu,lfiqar Khan), son of Asad Khan, and other commanders; but Shiva Ji being well provisioned, Zu,lfiqar Khan could not accomplish his task. In writing his report to the king, he stated the necessity of reinforcements; therefore Aurangzeb sent his youngest son Kaembacx (Kam Bakhsh) to command, accompanied by Asad Khan himself. - [Previous: 195.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.195.1) - [Next: 195.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.195.3) - [Up: 195](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.195) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.195.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.195.2) · Pramāṇa
