347.1.5

'If Fortune means to favour me, A sharp sword will not wound me.' ' As is usual, fatigue is followed by repose; therefore I hope by the grace of God to be thus favoured, and freed from the hardships and troubles that at present I am suffering. In regard to your remark about Jaswant, who was the greatest of the Rajputs and a friend of Dãrã, as all the world knows, you advise me not to trust such people. To this I reply that your Majesty says well; but your Highness should be careful to speak no further thereof. For it is quite certain that Dãrã was not loved by that tribe; he was their enemy. Had he retained their friendship he would not have been defeated. King Shãhjahãn was fond of that tribe, being (as he was) related to them, and by their weapons [46] made himself King of Hindustan.
