Muhammad A‘zam Shāh, who had marched only forty miles in ten days, returned to Ahmadnagar in the night of the 4th, and after mourning for his father and consoling his sister Zīnat-un-Nisā, who had superintended the emperor’s household throughout the Deccan period of his reign, took part in carrying his coffin for a short distance, and then sent it away to the *rauza* or sepulchre of the saint Shaikh Zain-ul-Haqq, four miles west of Daulatābād, for burial. This place was named Khuldābād and Aurangzīb was described in official writings by the posthumous title of *Khuld-makān* (“He whose abode is in eternity”).
