65.11.4

Not contenting himself with these affronts to a commander who, for the benefit of the prince's father, Shahjahan, revolted against the King of Golconda (Gulkhandah), as I shall tell hereafter (I. 162), Dara, three days before the said Mir Jumlah left for the Dacan (Dakhin) to conquer the territories of Gulkhandah, deprived him by bribery of the eighty European artillerymen he (Mir Jumlah) had in his service. Mir Jumlah knew of all these things, and granting that he was capable of some dissimulation, he was not able to ignore this last piece of treachery, and racking his head, he tried to find some course to take, so that the artillerymen might continue under his orders. This in effect happened, because Aurangzeb afterwards made him (Mir Jumlah) the royal captain-general [156] for the conquest of Axaini (Assam), and thus the artillerymen came under his command, as I shall relate hereafter (II. 72).
