v4.c62.s13.4

Khan-i-Jahan's second viceroyalty began at the end of May 1680 when he relieved Shah Alam at Aurangabad. (M.A. 193). That Prince and Dilir Khan hastened northwards to reinforce the Emperor in the war with the Rajputs which absorbed all the resources of the empire for the time being, so that Khan-i-Jahan could not look for any additional men or money till two years later, by which time Aurangib himself had arrived in the Deccan.
