He thankful for Jai Singh's friendship; as for Aurangzeb, he heeded neither his promises nor his menaces. He might inform the Mogul that he had no respect for either his power or his victories. He felt no need for his amity. Let him call to mind the occasion when his father, Shahjahan, sent the small army of thirty thousand horse and one hundred thousand foot into the country of Srinagar! Most of these issued from the said mountains without noses, the rest losing their lives. Further, let him know that he who could cut off noses could equally cut off heads. In this matter Aurangzeb might come to any decision he liked, but he would neither make over, nor permit the making over, to him of the fugitive prince. On being informed of the rajah's decision, Aurangzeb resolved to make use of the rajahs adjoining Srinagar to create a war against it, seeing he was not capable himself of doing it any harm. With this in view, he sent an order to Rajah Jai Singh \[276\] that by gorgeous presents and large promises, added to persuasive words, he should act on the minds of the said rajahs, so that they might wage war on the Rajah of Srinagar. He (Aurangzeb) said he would give him (Jai Singh) more territory if only he could compel the Rajah of Srinagar to surrender Prince Sulaiman Shukoh. - [Previous: 66.2.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.66.2.4) - [Next: 66.2.6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.66.2.6) - [Up: 66.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.66.2) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.66.2.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.66.2.5) · Pramāṇa
