History of Aurangzib, Based on Original Sources v1.c7.79

v1.c7.79

On 25th November began a most splendid and costly festivity in celebration of her complete recovery.[*] Jahanara was given jewels worth ten *lakhs* by her rejoicing father; every member of the household and every officer of the State received a gift on the joyous occasion; the beggars got two *lakhs*. The princes who had hastened to Agra on hearing of her accident, had their share of the Imperial bounty. But none of them was so great a gainer as Aurangzib, for, at her request he was restored to his father’s favour and his former rank and office, which he had lost in the meantime.
