v3.c49.s4.7

Some days before ordering the last steps, Aurangzib had learnt (on 26th February) that two of Jaswant's widows had given birth to two posthumous sons at Lahor.† But the Emperor was not to be moved from his policy of annexing Marwar by any regard for the law of legitimate succession. The arrangements for occupying the country being complete and national resistance seeming hopelessly impossible, he returned from Ajmir to Delhi (2nd April). On that day the invidious poll-tax on the Hindus was imposed again after a century of abeyance.*
