Ferishta confirms this likewise. According to this historian, it was while Man was yet only Kunwar, or heir-apparent, that he was invested with the governments of “Behar, Hajipoor, and Patna,” the same year (A.D. 1589) that his uncle Bhagwandas died, and that following the birth of Prince Khusru by the daughter of the Kachhwaha prince, an event celebrated (says Ferishta) with great rejoicings. See Briggs’ _Ferishta_, vol. ii. p. 261. Col. Briggs has allowed the similarity of the names _Khusru_ and _Khurram_ to betray him into a slight error, in a note on the former prince. It was not Khusru, but Khurram, who succeeded his father Jahangir, and was father to the monster Aurangzeb (note, p. 261). Khusru was put to death by Khurram, afterwards Shah Jahan. Footnote 9.1.32: _Annals of Rajasthan_, Vol. I. p. 408. Footnote 9.1.33: He was afterwards assassinated by order of Shah Jahan [“under the walls of Azere” (Asīrgarh)]. See Dow’s _Ferishta_, ed. 1812, vol. iii. p. 56. [Elphinstone (p. 563) calls his death suspicious, but refuses to believe that Shāh Jahān procured his death. He died from colic in the Deccan on January 16, 1622.] Footnote 9.1.34: Dow, ed. 1812, vol. iii. p. 42; the chronicle says in S. 1699, or A.D. 1613. [He died a natural death in July 1614, while he was on service in the Deccan, and sixty of his fifteen hundred women are said to have burned themselves on his pyre (_Āīn_, i. 341; _Memoirs of Jahāngīr_, trans. Rogers-Beveridge 266).] Footnote 9.1.35: An account of the life of Raja Man would fill a volume; there are ample materials at Jaipur. Footnote 9.1.36: [Jai Singh died, aged about sixty, at Burhānpur, July 12, 1667 (Manucci ii. 152).] Footnote 9.1.37: [According to Manucci (ii. 153), Rām Singh, as a piece of revenge for the flight of Sivaji, was sent to Assam in the hope that, like Mīr Jumla, he would die there; but on an appeal being made to Aurangzeb, the order was cancelled, and he was banished beyond the river Indus. The real fact is that Rām Singh was appointed to the Command in Assam in December 1667, and arrived there in February 1669. After desultory and unsuccessful fighting he was allowed to leave Bengal, and reached the Imperial Court in June 1676 (Jadunath Sarkar, _History of Aurangzib_, iii. 212 ff.).] ----- CHAPTER 2
