While on his way to the rendezvous, a spy told him he had heard there was treachery afoot, that Prince Aurangzeb himself had come to seize him. On obtaining the information the king did not continue on his way, but putting his horse to the gallop, sought safety in the fortress, which lies at one league from the city. Monsieur Bernier writes that the king reached the presence of Aurangzeb, and it was here that a spy warned him that the ambassador was none other than Aurangzeb himself. Thereupon he fled. But it was not so. If he had got as far as that he could not have escaped from the hands of Aurangzeb, for the relations of Mir Jumlah and the agents of the prince would have laid hold of him. Aurangzeb thereupon made himself master of the royal palace and all the wealth therein, stripping bare the tombs of the ancient kings of Gulkhandah, whence he derived great treasures. At the same time he left at liberty, and did no injury to the women, who went off in search of their sovereign master. This practice is followed in India. - [Previous: 65.13.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.65.13.3) - [Next: 65.13.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.65.13.5) - [Up: 65.13](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.65.13) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.65.13.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.65.13.4) · Pramāṇa
