The news caused a great commotion in the royal camp, since the greater number believed he was dead; the fact being that he unexpectedly fell into a swoon, and for three hours on end he was unable to speak a word. When Prince Kãm Bakhsh heard of it, he, too, jumped to the conclusion that his father was dead. With the idea of getting command over the whole army, he sent a letter to the grand wazīr, Asad Khãn. In this letter he told him to remain without apprehension; he undertook that no one should interfere with him. The wazīr, in answer, made use of similar phrases, saying, 'May God preserve his Majesty's life! If it happen otherwise, and he die, I am constrained to make over the treasure, the property, and the whole of this army to that one of the emperor's four sons who succeeds in ascending the throne and crowning himself, and to him I shall render \[157\] an account of everything.' - [Previous: 354.7.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.354.7.2) - [Next: 354.7.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.354.7.4) - [Up: 354.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.354.7) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.354.7.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.354.7.3) · Pramāṇa
