Aurangzeb now multiplied his wiles, and came out to greet him, along with Sec Mir (Shekh Mir) and his brother, Amircan (Amir Khan), and other officers, his intimates and devoted followers, handsomely attired, and with beaming faces. Embracing him, he (Aurangzeb) expressed the abundant love he had for him, cajoling him \[205\] with obsequious bows and many expressions of civility. Leading him to a great and handsome seat, he prayed him to be seated, and drove away the flies by agitating a handkerchief gently before his face, wiping away the sweat and the dust, and treating him throughout as king and lord. Then there appeared men and women musicians, and during their singing flowers were scattered and rose-water sprinkled everywhere; also many scents and perfumes were employed. Outside the tents different instruments struck up, and within were the dances of the ballet girls. At all this Murad Bakhsh was elated and pleased, as if already in enjoyment of the first-fruits of his glory. Three hours after his arrival, when it may have been two o'clock in the afternoon, they began the feast. Aurangzeb had beforehand ordered his officers to invite those of Murad Bakhsh to their tents, and the whole night was spent in mirth. - [Previous: 65.28.8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.65.28.8) - [Next: 65.28.10](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.65.28.10) - [Up: 65.28](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.65.28) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.65.28.9](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.65.28.9) · Pramāṇa
