Aurangzib even made a public declaration that he was himself going to Ahmadnagar to coerce the Bijapuris, and ordered the palace there to be got ready for his use.‡ But all these tricks failed. The news of Shah Jahan’s illness became public. The Bijapuris shrewdly guessed the situation. They knew that Aurangzib, with his depleted force and distraction about the succession, was not prepared to renew the war with them, and so they delayed yielding their forts and paying the promised indemnity. Mir Jumla, still hoping against hope, lingered near Parenda, trusting that his envoy at the Bijapur Court would influence the Sultan and his Ministers and secure the peaceful surrender of Parenda. Though every moment was precious for "the most important business of all" and Aurangzib was impatient to get Mir Jumla back at his side to make the necessary preparations for war with Dara, yet he permitted the Mir to continue in that quarter with M. Sultan for weeks longer, if by so doing he expected to get Parenda. About 6th December Sultan was recalled to his father's side and Prince Muazzam was sent in his place to Mir Jumla's camp near Bir.∗ - [Previous: v1.c19.35](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.sarkar-1912.v1.c19.35) - [Next: v1.c19.37](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.sarkar-1912.v1.c19.37) - [Up: v1.c19](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.sarkar-1912.v1.c19) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.sarkar-1912.v1.c19.36](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.sarkar-1912.v1.c19.36) · Pramāṇa
