On the 19th of the same month \[March, 1707\] he was crowned as king. Then he prepared for an immediate march towards the city of Ãgrah in order to obtain recognition as emperor. Shãh 'Alam, the first-born son of the late king, who was at this time close to the Indus river, as soon as he heard of the king's death began a march in all haste, taking his family with him and a strong force. On arrival at Ãgrah he occupied the city, and was acclaimed by all the people. Having heard that A'zam Tãrã was advancing against him, Shãh 'Alam wrote him a letter \[323\] in most courteous terms, intimating that it was their bounden duty to live in peace and amity with each other during the few remaining days of their mortal journey. Both of them were sufficiently advanced in years, and he (A'zam Tãrã) ought to content himself with the provinces that the emperor, their father, had given him. As for himself, he had not the least intention of interfering with him ; on the other hand, he claimed to be left undisturbed with what territory he had already. - [Previous: 371.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.371.3) - [Next: 371.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.371.5) - [Up: 371](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.371) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.371.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.371.4) · Pramāṇa
