Asaf Khan left the city, and coming to the bier, found the prince Khurram alive and well, and put him on an elephant kept ready for the purpose. Thus they entered into the city with all their cavalry, raising a rebellion against Bulaqi, beating the royal drums, marching with drawn swords in their hands, and shouting : 'Long live King Shahjahan!' It was thus that he entitled himself from this time forth — it means 'King of the World.' Bulaqi was amazed at the prince's thus returning to life, and all of a sudden becoming master of his (Bulaqi's) forces. Since there remained no other method of saving his life, he took to flight, and thus escaped from his brother's wrath.
