There are certain later and shorter collections of Aurangzīb’s letters, mostly selected from ‘Ināyat-ullah and bearing various titles, e.g. *Raqāim-i-Karāim* (compiled by Sayyid Ashraf Khān Mīr Muhammad Husainī bin ‘Abdul Karīm), *Dastūr-ul-‘amal-i-Āgāhī* and *Rumūz-wa-Ishārahā-i-‘Ālamgīrī* (both compiled by Rājā Āyā Mal, the *dīwān* of Jay Singh Savāī, in 1738 and 1742 respectively). Several letters from these selections constitute the lithographed *Ruq‘āt-i-‘Ālamgīrī*. The MSS. are very numerous and seldom exactly correspond in their contents or titles.
