But he conducted himself more prudently than did Murad Bakhsh. The latter, assembling such small army as was in his power, took the field, declaring himself a rebel, and proclaiming that he was on his way to Dihli to rescue the king \[folio 170 is blank\]. \[171\] King Shahjahan and Prince Dara believed that they were already freed from danger, seeing that Prince Shah Shuja' had retired in the manner just described, and they attached no importance to Prince Murad Bakhsh's rising. They supposed that, through some present or other and letters they would send him, he would assuredly return to obedience. They did not foresee what was going to happen. For this reason Shahjahan ordered all his baggage to proceed to the city of Dihli. He announced that he would leave Agrah shortly, and that he was already recovered from his illness. In pursuance of this resolve, the greater part of the army had already reached the city of Dihli, and the roads were crowded with those who were still marching there day and night. - [Previous: 65.15.9](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.65.15.9) - [Next: 65.16.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.65.16.2) - [Up: 65.16](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.65.16) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.65.16.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.65.16.1) · Pramāṇa
