As he wrote on 5th November, 1666:—"The times are bad for me. My anxieties are ceaseless. The lying Bijapuris are wasting time \[by delusive negotiations.\] There is no trace or news of the fugitive Shiva. My days are passing in distraction and anxiety. I have sent trusty spies, in various disguises, to get news of Shiva." \[H. A. 199b—200a.\] - [Previous: c8.s30.15](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.sarkar-1919.c8.s30.15) - [Next: c8.s30.17](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.sarkar-1919.c8.s30.17) - [Up: c8.s30](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.sarkar-1919.c8.s30) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.sarkar-1919.c8.s30.16](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.sarkar-1919.c8.s30.16) · Pramāṇa
