A great enclosure was roped off of square shape, and this was surrounded by a deep ditch. The heavy artillery was ranged from distance to distance and defended the approaches. The emperor's palace was placed in the centre of the camp. This also was square in shape and the light artillery was disposed all round it. The tents of the generals, of a much less height than those of the emperor, were pitched in the different quarters of the camp. The sutlers and traders of all sorts had streets assigned to them. To sum up it may be said that Aurangzeb dragged in his train a travelling city as large and as peopled as his capital”. - [Previous: c19.5](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.irvine-1903.c19.5) - [Next: c19.7](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.irvine-1903.c19.7) - [Up: c19](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.irvine-1903.c19) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.irvine-1903.c19.6](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.irvine-1903.c19.6) · Pramāṇa
