But at the same time the helpless condition of Shah Jahan, the civil war among the princes, and the temporary collapse of the Imperial authority would become patent to Bijapur, and all hope of getting Parenda or the promised indemnity would be gone. And at the same time his other enemies in the South would raise their heads: Golkonda would recover the reluctantly ceded and eagerly coveted province of Karnatak; Shivaji would raid the Junnar and Ahmadnagar districts. In short, the fruits of the last two years' warfare in the South would be totally lost to him. - [Previous: v1.c19.13](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.sarkar-1912.v1.c19.13) - [Next: v1.c19.15](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.sarkar-1912.v1.c19.15) - [Up: v1.c19](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.sarkar-1912.v1.c19) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.sarkar-1912.v1.c19.14](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.sarkar-1912.v1.c19.14) · Pramāṇa
