Some, on the other hand, want to make out that these fetters were of silver, intended by Aurangzeb to terrify his son Sultan Muhammad if he were disobedient. Six men went into the room where Murad Bakhsh was, and, laying hold of his feet forcibly and disrespectfully, began to place on them the fetters. This was very different from what the eunuch Shahbaz used to do: he used to waken him by gentle pressure on the feet. Turning his body hastily, and not seeing his eunuch, but unknown men with fetters in their hands and angry faces, Murad Bakhsh reached out hastily to the place where his weapons had been. But, finding himself deprived of all resource, he lost heart, and, becoming aware from that moment of his treacherous betrayal, he allowed his feet to be held, and made no movement while they put on the fetters. Then with bent head he muttered: 'This is the word and oath sworn to me on the Quran.' Some men have asserted to me that, if Aurangzeb had failed in this plan, he had resolved and determined to take his brother's life by violence that very day. - [Previous: 65.29.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.65.29.3) - [Next: 65.29.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.65.29.5) - [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.65.29.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.65.29.4) · Pramāṇa
