### [65.11.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.65.11.3)

It was also a rumour that Dara likewise took the life through poison of that able noble Sa'dullah Khan, a man esteemed by the king and the whole court. He was a partisan of Prince Aurangzeb. Dara also insulted Rajah Jasing (Jai Singh), a very powerful Hindu prince, lord of forty thousand horsemen and one hundred and fifty thousand infantry. He said that Jai Singh looked like a musician, an occupation much despised in Hindustan, because all such men act the part of buffoons. Apparently the rajah submitted to the insult received from Dara, but he only dissembled, and postponed the taking of vengeance to the time when Dara would need him. This he accomplished, and I will relate it hereafter (I. 169). Not content with having affronted so many, he must needs ridicule the great soldier Mirzamula (Mir Jumlah), when he arrived at his father's court. He ordered the noble's sword, that he was wearing at his waist, to be stolen as soon as he entered the royal palace by active fellows, of whom he kept a number for the execution of such-like tricks. In addition, he ordered his buffoons several times to imitate the gait and the gestures of the said Mir Jumlah, making mock of him.
