v5.c74.s14.2

Aurangzib at first ordered the prince to be brought to his presence in charge of Asad Khan, and fresh equipment and furniture to be given to him on the way, to replace what had been abandoned or looted at Jinji, but no order was passed regarding Zulfiqar and his officers. [Dil. 111b.] Meantime, Prince Azam had been posted to Kadapa district to support the Jinji army from the rear. He encamped at Saddam at the southern frontier of his charge; and thus, after the arrival of Qasim Khan at Wandiwash, the Mughal line of communication from the Eastern Karnatak to the Emperor's Court was again secured from interruption.
