He impressed on him that all this was merely the wiliness and plotting of Aurangzeb to secure Mir Jumlah and seize his goods, having discovered that Muhammad Amin Khan and Shaistah Khan had no intention of exposing themselves to his severities. Dara listened to these arguments, and although he disagreed, he dissembled, and busied himself with the preparation of his entire army. Aurangzeb and Murad Bakhsh, finding themselves victors through the good results attained in this first fight, became emboldened and thought themselves invincible, and assumed that no army existed in the world able to oppose them. Thus all the soldiers in the army boasted that after they were masters of the empire, they would without fail press on into Persia and Turkey, uttering unending rodomontade. To raise the spirits of his troops, Aurangzeb announced (very truly, as I saw when the time came) that in the army of Dara there were thirty thousand Moguls ready to come under his standards. - [Previous: 65.19.6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.65.19.6) - [Next: 65.20.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.65.20.1) - [Up: 65.19](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.65.19) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.65.19.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.65.19.7) · Pramāṇa
