v3.c37.s3.4

As we shall see later, Akbar died before the author of his being. But so long as he lived, he was a constant menace to his father and to his eldest brother Shah Alam, the governor of Afghanistan in the closing years of the reign. On hearing of his death Aurangzib heaved a sigh of relief and exclaimed, "The great troubler of the peace of India is gone." (M.A. 484.)
