These were the children of the principal wife, who was of the blood-royal. When Shahjahan assigned to each prince a separate establishment, he kept Dara by his side, and made him lord of the kingdoms of Kashmir, of Lahor, and of Kabul. Out of the great love he bore him he granted him several privileges, such as to cause elephants to fight together whenever he pleased, and to display in his presence gold and silver maces, a thing otherwise allowed to the king only. To demonstrate still more his affection, he ordered a small throne to be placed near his own, and on this the prince was to take his seat. It must be added that out of the great respect he had for his father Dara would never consent to sit on this throne. He (Shahjahan) gave an order that all the nobles of his court should go first to make their morning bow in the presence of the heir-apparent, Sultan Dara, and then come to his (Shahjahan's) daily audience. He declared on various occasions that this son (Dara) was the successor that he desired, and he would do all in his power to get him made king; but the matter was according to the will of the Paraverdigar \[Parwardagar\]—that is to say, of the Creator, from whom he besought the gift of such a happy event. - [Previous: 65.10.9](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.65.10.9) - [Next: 65.11.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.65.11.2) - [Up: 65.11](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.65.11) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.65.11.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.65.11.1) · Pramāṇa
