Storia do Mogor 66.3.2

66.3.2

Aurangzeb was weighed down by the thought that, however hard he had worked to establish himself in the realm, there was still one difficulty left. Murad Bakhsh yet lived. Many at Gwaliyar fortress, they cut off Murad Bakhsh's head in the presence of the complainant and other witnesses. He was interred there and then. Thus came to an end the royal blood of the Mogul, leaving none but Sipihr Shukoh, son of Dara, and the son of Murad Bakhsh, of whom I will speak farther on ('Ezad Bakhsh,' II., 144). Aurangzeb remained absolute master of the whole empire. Thus with the blood of his competitors were assuaged the fears which perturbed the Mogul.
