It was reported to Shahjahan that Shah Shuja' had not obeyed his orders. He was thus forced, ailing and weak as he was, to leave the city of Dihli, and start for the city of Agrah, a distance of sixty-six leagues. His object was that all the people should hear, and that word should run throughout the empire that he was alive. Thus would he intimidate his sons and any traitors. But all was of no avail. Shah Shuja', now that he had taken the field, meant to seize the kingdom; and thus he continued his march. By this conduct, Shahjahan was forced unavoidably to send against him Sultan Suliman Xacu (Sulaiman Shukoh), eldest son of Prince Dara, then at the age of twenty-five years. He was a well-grown young man, generous, of good judgment, loved by everybody, above all by his grandfather, Shahjahan, who conferred on him great wealth at the time of his marriage, which took place one year before the rebellion.
