Death of Aurangzeb, March 3, 1707.—"...On the fifth, Ajit took to horse; he reached the town of Jodha, and sacrificed to the gates, but the Asurs feared to face him... The Mirza came down, and Ajit ascended to the halls of his ancestors... Jodhgarh was purified from the contaminations of the barbarian with the water of the Ganges and the sacred Tulasi, and Ajit received the tilak of sovereignty."
