History of Aurangzib, Based on Original Sources v2.c27.3

v2.c27.3

∗ The history of Dara's flight and the pursuit by the Imperialists is given in great detail in Jai Singh's despatches to Aurangzib contained in Haft Anjuman (Benares MS.) and Paris Bibliotheque Nationale Persian MS. No. Sup. 476 (Blochet's Catalogue No. 704). The latter will be referred to as the Paris MS. A general narrative with much supplementary information is given in A. N. 409—415, 418-419. Bernier's personal observations (88—97.) Kambu 22b, Aqil Khan 87, and Isardas 44a and b are very brief. Masum 138b—145b, though a little confused about the route, supplies very useful details about the capture and execution. Storia, i. 345—355, is of little value, as Manucci was invested in Bhakkar all this time.
