Following the orders of Aurangzeb, I'tibar Khan then sent the head of Dara to be buried in the sepulchre of Taj Mahal, his mother, which is opposite the palace, as I have said. This [queen's death] was one of the greatest sorrows endured by the emperor Shahjahan in all his life, as many a time he had declared to the nobles. This is why he built this mausoleum opposite to his palace, thinking by a sight of the tomb to dissipate the pain he felt at the death of his beloved wife, Taj Mahal. But after the head of his beloved son was buried in the same place his sorrows were redoubled, and became so poignant that in a short space his life came to an end. The eunuch I'tibar Khan made a report to King Aurangzeb of what had passed, with all the details, whereby he and Roshan Ara Begam received great delight.
