The question of peace with Bījāpur presented no difficulties. All that Aurangzīb required for the present was a sufficient contribution to the expenses of his march to the capital, with which ‘Alī ‘Ādil Shāh was not only willing, but anxious, to purchase peace. Aurangzīb, on his side, relinquished his conquests, returned to Aurangābād, and marched to Āgra. The story of his rebellion is told in chapter VII and its results are well known. He defeated his brothers, two of whom he murdered, deposed his father, and ascended the throne.
