He lives in constant dread that his sons A'zam Tãrã and Kãm Bakhsh may rise against him; hence, as an impediment to any such revolt, he sends out the larger part of his troops to fight under the standards of generals, ordering them away on expeditions first in one direction, then in another. In the month of November, 1706, the old king fell ill once more, and for five days did not appear in audience. This illness was the cause of an outbreak in the army, men thinking the king was dead. Already many officers had gone over to the side of Prince A'zam Tãrã, others had adopted that of Kãm Bakhsh, while the rest made ready to lay hands upon all they could find. The astute old man was told of these things, and, ailing and weak though he was, had himself carried to audience on a small throne propped up by a number of cushions, and having men behind to hold him so that he should not fall. As soon as he made his appearance the instruments of music began to sound, and by the beating of the drums the army was informed that the king was alive and was engaged in giving audience. Thus the mutiny was stayed, which until that time had gone on increasing. - [Previous: 356.2.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.356.2.7) - [Next: 356.3.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.356.3.2) - [Up: 356.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.356.3) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.356.3.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.356.3.1) · Pramāṇa
