Thus he made up his mind to go to the place where Jiwan Khan dwelt. But among the barbarous and unbelieving Mahomedans, chiefly the Pathan tribes, there is neither former benefit nor obligation that holds good. The ungrateful Jiwan Khan, when Dara arrived in his country flying from his pursuers, resolved on seizing him, in the hope that Aurangzeb would reward him for such a trick, although he thereby committed the greatest treachery and ingratitude that could be done by the whole uncivilized world united.

When this was carried out, he set to work to treat them with cruelty.
