v4.c62.s13.2

His officiating viceroyalty of the Deccan had ended in October 1678, when Shah Alam had arrived at Aurangabad to fill that office for the fourth time. The Prince continued in the Deccan till May, 1680. His supine administration was rendered more than usually barren of success by his constant opposition to his general, Dilir, and his only achievement was that he influenced the moribund Government of Bijapur (March 1680) to read the khutba and stamp coins in Aurangzib’s name. (M.A. 169, 192.)
