v3.c36.s3.6

There were rejoicings all over the country. Raushanara, in particular, gave a grand feast on her beloved brother's escape from death. The absolute peace that was maintained throughout the empire during this critical month and a half is the highest tribute to the strength of Aurangzib's character* and the stability of the rule he had founded. The Indian world seemed to have been laid under a spell by that masterful will and durst not stir a finger until he was known to be dead beyond hope of revival.
