It was sufficient for his highness to arrange to come with all haste, that he (Mir Jumlah) would manage things so that no one should know of his approach until he arrived at the gates of the Baganagar (Bhagnagar) fortress. When the king came out to receive the letter, as was usual, he could be captured without any difficulty, and as a consequence the whole of his family would fall into their hands. He (Mir Jumlah) added that he himself would provide the sum of fifty thousand rupees for every day's march. Prince Aurangzeb, who sought an occasion for displaying his fidelity to his father and enlarging his dominions, replied to Mir Jumlah that without fail he would start at once from Aurangabad, and would follow in every point the instructions contained in his letter. Then he began his march. The King of Gulkhandah, finding that Mir Jumlah did not mean to obey the repeated orders issued for his return to court, directed the arrest of Muhammad Amin Khan. The latter, when he came to know the royal order, fortified himself in his mansion, and resolved to defend it. He fought three days against the soldiers of the king, when Aurangzeb arrived at Bhagnagar, without anything being known, except that he was an ambassador from King Shahjahan.
