The petitions that Dara made to his father were so insistent that this favour was granted Aurangzeb ; he was withdrawn from Multan and ordered to the Dakhin. Shahjahan was unwilling to concede these requests; still, from Dara's importunities he granted what was asked. But he said to Dara : ' You are acting on behalf of a venomous snake, and you will have to suffer from its poison.' Aurangzeb went to the Dakhin, where his strength began to increase. Near to Doltabad (Daulatabad) he built a city that he called Aurangabad — that is to say, ' Built by Aurangzeb.' There he began to weave the web of his rebellion, including the destruction of his father and his brothers. - [Previous: 65.2.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.65.2.4) - [Next: 65.2.6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.65.2.6) - [Up: 65.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.65.2) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.65.2.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.65.2.5) · Pramāṇa
