The governor of the city at this time was Xanevascan (Shah Nawaz Khan), father-in-law of Aurangzeb. Without making the least resistance against the small force led by Dara, he handed over the town to his opponent, not from want of courage, but because it was not correct that he, a vassal, while his king was still alive, should oppose a royal prince, heir to the empire. Shah Nawaz Khan was a descendant of the ancient princes of Maxad (Mashhad) in Persia, and was satisfied with passing his life in feasting and pleasure. He issued from the fortress to meet and receive Dara with all possible honours, promising to serve him faithfully. As I shall recount farther on, he did, as a fact, lose his life for love of Dara in the province of Asmir (Ajmer), although some author says he was an enemy of that prince. - [Previous: 65.34.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.65.34.3) - [Next: 65.34.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.65.34.5) - [Up: 65.34](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.65.34) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.65.34.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.65.34.4) · Pramāṇa
