As soon as he had done so he was surrounded in the midst of mountains by a number of men who barred the road. It ended in all his men being killed without a single one escaping. Moreover, all the chiefs of the same race (Pathans) assembled and closed all the routes. Shah 'Alam, on hearing what had happened, grieved much over the loss of a leader so valiant, though wanting in prudence. He was obliged to send presents to allay the fury of this barbarous people, in order that they might leave the routes open, that the great caravans might be allowed to pass, and that he himself might find his road open for his annual journey to and fro \[i.e., from Kabul to Peshawar\]. When princes pass through this land of mountains they are never without fear of something happening to them, as has formerly been the case with others, as can be ascertained from my First and Second Parts (I. 123 ; II. 148, 153). \[155\] In the year 1703 Aurangzeb, having taken the fortress of Shiva Ji (the Mahrattahs) named Condena (Kandanah), he marched off and pitched his camp close to a place called Punia (Puna). It was here that he (Shiva Ji) killed the son of Shaistah Khan and that noble was himself wounded, as may have been seen in my First and Second Parts (II. 77). - [Previous: 335.1.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.335.1.7) - [Next: 335.2.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.335.2.2) - [Up: 335.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.335.2) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.335.2.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.335.2.1) · Pramāṇa
