27. Dära Shukoh was immensely popular among the people who deeply mourned his fate and were outraged at the treatment meted out to him. See, Bernier's account (Travels, pp. 98-99) who was an eye witness of the popular resentment and outburst of anger against perpetrators of the crime. For Aurangbzeb's callous and shocking remark about his elder brother, see Māsüm, f. 145b quoted by J.N. Sarkar in Aurangzeb, I & II, p.341.
