### [65.2.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.65.2.3)

Shahjahan was anxious to prevent the occurrence of any trouble at court. He therefore ordered that only one prince should come each day to his presence. But Aurangzeb, pricked by envy and the desire of injuring his brother Dara, rode out on horseback, lance in hand. He waited until Dara should come out of the fortress. Then he spurred his horse in such a way that it struck his (Dara's) palanquin with its hindquarters, so that the litter nearly fell to the ground. Dara, thus insulted, made bitter complaints to his father. The father, seeing this want of harmony among his sons, and fearing some misfortune, separated them. He knew that Aurangzeb was in treaty with his brother Xaxuja (Shah Shuja') for the marriage of his son, Sultan Mahamud (Mahmud), with the latter's daughter when she arrived at a proper age. He therefore sent the prince Shah Shuja' to be lord over the kingdom of Bemgalla (Bengal), and Prince Aurangzeb to the city of Moltan (Multan), and Prince Moradbacx (Murad Bakhsh) to the kingdom of Guzurab (Gujarat) ; while he kept with himself the prince Dara, his eldest son, as being the most esteemed and loved.
