v1.c17.74

Akbar to Kavi Kalash, 20 Feb. 1684. “Immediately on receipt of this, set out to see me. God forbid, that through delay the affair should take a different turn. Know the matter to be urgent.” Again on 27 July 1684. “Received your letter. As for the envoy of Muhammad Azam, who has arrived there, I do not know why he has come and what agreement you have made with him. You can make peace if you consider it expedient for yourself. I am not myself much inclined towards peace. Do not remain careless relying on peace. You know best what is for your future benefit.” Akbar writes to Kavi Kalash on 20 August 1684. “The question of peace is entirely at the discretion of the Raja and yourself. As for the peace with the ‘Feringis’ in which you have dragged me as an intermediary, I do not know how the affair has been concluded. Inform me what agreement has been made with the envoy of Muhammad Azam. What is the state of the Bijapur business?"
