v1.c6.s6.33

Instead of the expected reward, Rustam Dil Khan, on laying Azam Shah's head before his master, received nothing but reproaches from the compassionate Bahadur Shah. Two elephants followed, bearing the dead bodies of Azam Shah and Bidar Bakht. In the howda of the first-named was found his young son, Ali Tabar, lying unconscious, in a state more dead than alive, partly from the wound he had received and partly from fright. Bahadur Shah received the boy very kindly, embraced him, and wept for the dead. Azam Shah's women and Bidar Bakht's sons, Bidar Dil and Said Bakht, and other children, were brought in by the exertions of Munim Khan, and these all received assurances of favour and protection. [Iradat 39, Kamraj 31-32.]
