v3.c20.444

Muhammad would not permit his mourning for his mother to interrupt the expedition which he had undertaken, but when he reached Dīpālpur he received a petition from Shāhū expressing contrition, and learnt at the same time that the rebel and all his followers had fled beyond his reach into the mountains of Afghānistān, and accordingly returned to Delhi. The subsequent rebellions in Gujarāt and the Deccan were partly due to the severity of the restrictions placed upon Afghāns in India in consequence of Shāhū’s revolt.
