He retreated to the banks of the Ganges river for defence and recovery. But as the results of battles are uncertain, Aurangzeb stood fast with his army on the boundaries of Agrah in order to reinforce Mir Jumlah, if need for help arose. At this time he ordered Murad Bakhsh to be removed from the fortress of Salimgarh, where he was a prisoner, and shut up in close prison at Gwaliyar fortress. His orders were to give him poppy-water to drink, as in the case of Sultan Muhammad; both were treated with the same harshness, nor was the slightest conversation allowed between the two prisoners. Then, in the meanwhile, news came to Aurangzeb that Shah Shuja' could still resist for a long time. When assured of this, Aurangzeb retired upon the city of Dihli, and began to issue absolute orders as king; and he caused coin to be struck in his own name, on which were shown these words: 'Seca zad der jahan chum badre munir Xaa Orangzeb Alamguer' (Sikkah zad dar jahan chun badr-i-munir Shah Aurangzeb-i-'Alamgir)—that is to say, 'Struck coin in the world as clear as the sun and moon, I, King Aurangzeb, conqueror of the world.' - [Previous: 65.37.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.65.37.5) - [Next: 65.37.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.65.37.7) - [Up: 65.37](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.65.37) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.65.37.6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.65.37.6) · Pramāṇa
