65.16.7

The second time Prince Aurangzeb sent his second son, Sultan Mahazan (Sultan Mu'azzam), to show him (Mir Jumlah) the letters written by his father (Shahjahan). These were forgeries. They were in very cordial terms. They showed him to be so affectionate and friendly that Mir Jumlah declared it impossible to refuse to go. He then arranged terms with the garrison of Kaliyam, and hastened with his army to join that of Sultan Mu'azzam, and they marched together for the city of Aurangabad. Upon Mir Jumlah's arrival, Prince Aurangzeb made a false display of affection, using to him phrases of the greatest possible endearment, styling him 'baba' (baba) and 'babagi' (baba Ji)—that is to say, 'father' and 'lord father'—and embracing him repeatedly. He prayed him most earnestly to come with him to take part in his enterprise and to adopt his cause. Mir Jumlah appeared to be much incensed, and said that he was a most loyal subject of King Shahjahan. In public he reprehended him (Aurangzeb); all this being a comedy, to the end that the spies might write to King Shahjahan and Prince Dara of his apparent loyalty.
