The officers and soldiers spent that night in great anxiety, knowing not what course to pursue. By the time morning dawned they accepted the proposals of Aurangzeb. The latter took possession of all the wealth and forces of Murad Bakhsh. All his wives, sons, and daughters, and all his dependents were sent to the fortress of Dihli. The orders given to Daler Khan, who went in charge of Murad Bakhsh, were that, on getting near to Dihli, he should uncover the howdah, and in that condition enter into the city. The prince was to be carried to the stronghold of Selimguer (Salimgarh), built long ago by King Selim Xa (Salim Shah) of the Pathan race. This place is in the middle of the river Jamnah, close to the Royal Fortress newly reconstructed by Shahjahan, and called Xaajanabad (Shahjahanabad). You cross to it (Salimgarh) by a great bridge, which stands between the one fortress and the other.
