[As the above-named two manuscripts diverge a good deal, I have procured a copy from Venice of fols. 417-455, and insert here whatever does not appear in the Berlin MS.]
[417] It seems to me that the inquiring reader will be pleased if I inform him how these Mogul kings are accustomed to write in a contemptuous tone to other powerful kings, princes, and rulers, demanding surrender of any strong place they want to usurp. This was done by King Aurangzeb after he had taken the kingdoms of Bijapur and Gulkandah.
