DescriptionFirman of Aurangzeb, The David Collections.jpg |
English: When the Great Mughals embarked on long journeys, they brought along not only large parts of the court and harem, but also the chancellery. The ruler followed political developments through daily councils and audiences, and couriers with firmans (imperial decrees) were dispatched from the camp.
This firman, issued on the 8th day of the month of Ramadan in the 33rd year of Aurangzeb’s reign (June 27, 1689), begins with the traditional words, “In the name of God, the merciful, the compassionate,” followed by Aurangzeb’s tughra (his name in intricate calligraphy) and seal. The decree itself, written in Persian, is an order to a certain Asad Khan to take precautions against adherents of Sambha, the leader of a revolt who had been executed the year before. |
