v2.c23.103

∗ Murad was sent to Gwalior at the end of January 1659, (A. N. 291, 304). Khafi Khan, 156, says that Murad was beheaded in the month of Rabi-us-sani, 1072 A. H.; Kambu 24b (both MSS. in the Khuda Bakhsh Library) gives the date as 21 Rabi-us-sani, 1070 A. H. Here the final figure 2 has been dropped by mistake; the year was certainly 1072 and not 1070, because in Jamadi-ul-awwal, 1071 A. H., Murad is spoken of as still in Gwalior (A. N., 603). For the execution of Murad, Kambu, 24b; Khafi Khan, ii. 156; Storia, i. 382-383; Dilkasha 35. The reference to his tomb is in Aurangzib's letters, Inayatullah's Ahkam, 289b, 302b.
