History of Aurangzib, Based on Original Sources v3.c40.s5.3

v3.c40.s5.3

∗ Of this correspondence we possess only the letters of Aurangzib to his father,—eight in number,—given in Adab, 260a—264a. Three of them are reproduced inaccurately in K.K. ii. 101-106, and brief summaries of a few are given by Bernier, 167-168, and Manucci, ii. 19-20. The contents of the letters that Shah Jahan wrote to Aurangzib we can infer from the quotations made from them by the latter before answering them.
