Shivaji next tried to win over the prime-minister, and paid him a visit, begging him to use his influence with the Emperor to send him back to the Deccan with adequate resources for extending the Mughal empire there. Jafar Khan, warned by his wife (a sister of Shaista Khan) not to trust himself too long in the company of Shiva, hurriedly ended the interview, saying "All right; I shall speak to the Emperor and make the arrangements." Shiva knew that he meant to do nothing. (Sabh. 50-51.)
