65.35.8

Shah Shuja' retreated upon the city of Ilavas (Allahabad). On the day that he arrived at his quarters, he took measures against Allahwirdi Khan. The latter with the greatest assurance, as if he had done some great deed or benefit on his prince's behalf, stayed with the defeated army. He was put in chains and brought into the presence of Shah Shuja'. Recognising too late the treason committed, in great anger and without putting a single question, Shah Shuja' deprived him of life by a spear-thrust from his own hand (a chastisement well earned by this ungrateful traitor). God purposed, by taking the life of this clever traitor, to give to vassals a lesson of fidelity.
