But Aurangzeb was wide awake. His brother having been deprived of his faithful eunuch, he felt sure of his plan succeeding. Still, to make assurance doubly sure, he sent for his son, Sultan A'zam, then six or seven years of age, and living in the harem. When the boy appeared, he showed him quietly a lovely ornament, and told him if he would carry off his sleeping uncle's sword without rousing him, he should receive the jewel. This was done so that if Murad Bakhsh should wake, he would see that he who had roused him was an innocent child, and would suspect no evil. The boy, to gain the reward, went cautiously into his uncle's room and silently drew away the sword from his side, and made it over to his father. Again he showed the boy another jewel, and said he should get it if he went once more and took away the dagger also. Highly delighted, the child went in as he had done before, and carried off the dagger also. Poor Murad Bakhsh was now unarmed, and without a defender. Pleased at finding himself master of the arms, of the army, and of the person of Murad Bakhsh, Aurangzeb drew a deep breath of joy and relief at the finish of his labours, cunning plots, and anxieties. - [Previous: 65.29.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.65.29.2) - [Next: 65.29.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.65.29.4) - [Up: 65.29](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.65.29) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.65.29.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.65.29.3) · Pramāṇa
