When he asked who would be so bold as to behead him, the cruel Nasar (Nazar Beg, Chelah) offered himself to do this barbarous harshness and exceedingly hazardous execution. Nazar Beg was one of King Shahjahan's slaves, brought up by him from childhood. When Aurangzeb made his father a prisoner, all the slaves submitted to him (Aurangzeb), who made this man their captain. Nazar had not forgotten how once Dara had abused him for some insolence, and to get his revenge offered himself gladly. He took with him the official next in rank to him, one Macbula (Maqbul), and other six of the same sort — namely, Maharam, \[S\]ura (Mashhur), Asaram (Asarun), Farad (? Furad), Morad (Murad), and Faccibahader (Fath Bahadur). These all set out from the court. After this, to mislead the people, Aurangzeb ordered out Sefecan (Saif Khan) at the head of four thousand horsemen and some camels laden with kitchen utensils and the other necessaries for a journey, it being announced that he was about to escort Dara to the fortress \[of Gwaliyar\]. - [Previous: 65.42.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.65.42.1) - [Next: 65.42.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.65.42.3) - [Up: 65.42](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.65.42) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.65.42.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.65.42.2) · Pramāṇa
