v1.c12.s2.17

Aurangzib's letters entitled Dastur-ul-aml-i-Agahi, his pen-name being Agahi. On the death of Keshav-das, his soldiers greatly troubled his widow for the arrears of their pay; the Government merely procrastinated, and at last she cleared their dues by selling the robes and utensils of the family. Two sons of Keshav-das, named Harsāhi and Gursāhi were retained in service as bakhshis, while a son-in-law was consoled with a post in the cavalry. [S.P.D., xxi. 34.]
