65.44.6

From this town (Sihrind) we went on towards the court, and arrived at Dihli in seven days, where we learnt that the king was much affected by the death of our eunuch, Primavera (Basant), his orders having been to seize, but not to kill him. But Khalilullah Khan excused this excess, writing to the king that his death was necessary, because it was known that he meant to go into Srinagar territory, where Prince Sulaiman Shukoh was, taking with him two thousand fighting men, hardy troops, and the best of the Europeans that Dara had left in the fortress of Bhakkar. Without a doubt, if the eunuch had obtained free passage, we should all have gone to find Prince Sulaiman Shukoh.
