When the mother of Sultan Mu'azzam learnt this, she said to Roshan Ara Begam that what she was doing was not right, thus to rouse the empire, setting on foot in it confusion and disquiet \[39\], while the king was still alive and there was hope of his recovery. Having said this, she proceeded to the king's bedside, but Roshan Ara Begam boldly seized her by the hair and ejected her from the royal chamber. The queen, not to afflict her suffering husband, bore it quietly and patiently. Meanwhile, it was terrible to see the city of Dihli in such confusion. Rumours were current that the king was already dead; wherefore everyone made preparations for doing what best suited his own affairs. Others said that though the king was alive, there was no hope of his recovery, that Rajah Jaswant Singh was coming from Gujarat to free Shahjahan from prison, and that Mahabat Khan would surely come for the same purpose. I leave the reader to imagine what confusion there must have been in a city the capital of a kingdom which had been accustomed to recognise as king none but the one who, after the defeat of all others, came out sole victor. - [Previous: 91.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.91.1) - [Next: 91.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.91.3) - [Up: 91](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.91) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.91.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.91.2) · Pramāṇa
