in his mind [181] he was disturbed, but externally betrayed no sign, and thenceforth never again went to the tents of Murad Bakhsh, sending his son Sultan Muhammad instead, making the excuse that the heavy work he had to get through allowed him no time to go in person to visit his brother.

He therefore raised the pay of his soldiers, and started again in great pomp on the third day.

He desired to know from them the arrangements and conditions at the court, so as to adopt means to carry out his projects with greater security. The traitors replied unanimously that he might advance without the slightest hesitation; and all of them assured him that other battles would be won with even greater ease.
