v1.c11.73
As the king would not acknowledge the Emperor’s right of interference, Aurungzebe, on his rejecting the mandate, without any declaration of war, sent forward his eldest son, Sultan Mohummud, with a considerable force, on pretence of passing Hyderabad on the route to Bengal, whither it was given out he was proceeding to espouse his cousin, the daughter of Sultan Shuja. Aurungzebe followed with the main army.
