But encountering the great army of Shah 'Alam not far from Multan, he was obliged to retreat. Then it was heard that he had halted at the fortress of Qandahar, within Persian territory, there to await his father's death. Since that time, as it would appear, there has been no want of people to collect and espouse his cause. Therefore Shah 'Alam continued \[in those regions\] with his sons and family, excepting 'Azim-ud-din. He did not remain in one fixed place, but scattering \[254\] his troops, kept watch, so that his brother Akbar might not invade India. Things went well with Shah 'Alam, favoured by Fortune as also with his son, Sultan 'Azim-ud-din, in Bengal. The latter, imitating his grandfather, denuded the rajah little by little until the rebel was forced to retire into his own country. - [Previous: 198](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.198) - [Next: 199.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.199.2) - [Up: 199](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.199) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.199.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.199.1) · Pramāṇa
