Aurangzeb ordered his men to bring into the palace the lady Jani Begam, daughter of Dara and of Nur Mahal Begam (who with her own hands took poison, as I have described). When the unfortunate young lady saw the throne of his murderer placed in the palaces where her father had sat, she began to distil from her eyes the tokens of her grief with such deep feeling that her life began to waste away. She was badly treated by Roshan Ara Begam, who incessantly recalled memories of the dead. When Aurangzeb found that the girl was wasting away, he forwarded her to the fortress of Agrah to be made over to King Shahjahan and Begam Sahib. By beholding her the old emperor's sorrows were in part alleviated; Begam Sahib was pleased with Jani Begam's beauty, a reproduction of lost originals ; and she herself was delighted at finding herself free from the sight of him who had killed her father, and out of the hands of a cruel enemy, Roshan Ara Begam. Aurangzeb also sent for the two second wives of Dara — that is to say, the inconstant Udepuri, a Georgian by race, and the faithful Ranadel (Ra'na-dil), a Hindu by birth. Udepuri obeyed and appeared [261] in the presence of Aurangzeb, who made her his wife, and by her he had the prince Kam Bakhsh.
