After all this, they set themselves in array and marched for the tents and camp of Dara. Aurangzeb and Murad Bakhsh advanced tranquilly, and when they were near, they ordered out some horsemen and infantry to reconnoitre the tents and dig up the ground round them to see if there were no powder-mines laid. They feared there might be treachery. Assured that there was no treachery, they both advanced to the tents of Dara, and, alighting from their elephants, entered. Aurangzeb remarked to Murad Bakhsh that it was the first day of his reign, renewed his congratulations on the victory, and behaved to him as to his sovereign and master. He offered him exaggerated respect in the presence of Khalilullah Khan and others then present. He went through a thousand bows and submissive gestures, just as if he were any insignificant servant. Here once more Murad Bakhsh received the traitor Khalilullah Khan with soft words and many promises. Leaving Murad Bakhsh at Dara's tents, everybody else withdrew.
