He made great efforts to emerge from this position, but the fates would not permit it to be otherwise. Finding himself in bodily weakness, and desirous of pleasing Dara, he transferred \[to him\] all his powers and dignities, and ordered everyone to yield him obedience. He wanted to try if, by this means, he could relieve himself of all the ills from which he suffered, including the danger in which he stood of being captured by Aurangzeb and dispossessed of his authority. - [Previous: 65.20.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.65.20.2) - [Next: 65.20.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.65.20.4) - [Up: 65.20](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.65.20) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.65.20.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.65.20.3) · Pramāṇa
