This relief of Aurangabad took place probably late in February 1681. At the approach of the rainy season, (April) the Khan took up his residence in the old quarter (Kuhna) of the city, built by the Mughal Government, as distinct from the suburbs (puras) built by the nobles, and began to raise a protective wall* round the city, as ordered by the Emperor. (Dil. 170.) But he was soon disturbed by the arrival of a new enemy, the rebel prince Muhammad Akbar.
