Three hours after the Emperor's arrival, the wazir, the Chief of Artillery (Samsām)* and some other officers reached Delhi and came to him. Ahmad Shah asked, "Why did you not bring with yourself the people of the harem and my 'honour' (i.e., wives and daughters) who were there?" The wazir replied, "In the darkness of the night nothing could be learnt and nobody brought me news of their plight."
