Seeing his father's death was near, this son supplicated that while his father still remained alive he would grant to him (Kãm Bakhsh) entire liberty to go, for he feared that after his father's death his throat would be cut \[322\] by his enemies. The king granted his prayer, and also placed in his hands a letter addressed to the Viceroy of Bījãpur, containing an injunction to permit his youngest son to make himself master of that kingdom. Then the prince (Kãm Bakhsh) hastened his departure, and four days after he had started — namely, on March 4 \[1707\] — the king died two hours after midday. At that very moment there arose a whirlwind which overturned all the tents in the camp, knocked down elephants, camels, et cetera, uprooted trees, even those of prodigious size ; in short, a very large number of persons were killed, and the effects extended also into the adjacent villages, the tempest lasting until the evening. As soon as he heard this news A'zam Tãrã made all haste to return to court, seized all the treasure, and with great vigour reduced everyone to obedience. The king's body was lifted and laid in a palanquin for removal to the city of Aurangãbãd, there to be interred in the sepulchre that he had caused to be prepared in his lifetime not far from a large reservoir. - [Previous: 371.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.371.2) - [Next: 371.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.371.4) - [Up: 371](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.371) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.371.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.371.3) · Pramāṇa
