v3.c36.s2.2
At Prince Muhammad's going over to Shuja and the recovery of Rajmahal, the capital of Bengal, by the two, there was much alarm and slackness among the imperialists. Aurangzib advanced from Delhi to Garh Mukteshwar on the Ganges (13-24 Nov., 1659), in order to be nearer at hand to march to Bengal in case of need. But the danger was not really serious, and the Emperor spent most of his time in hunting. Early next January he left Garh Mukteshwar for Allahabad by way of Soron, again hunting on the way. But as the situation in the eastern theatre of war improved under Mir Jumla's able control, the Emperor found his own presence there unnecessary and turned aside from the way, reaching Delhi on 13th February, 1660. (A. N. 444—464).
