—-Aurangzib to Bidar Bakht in Kalimat-i-Tayyibat, 7b. [quoted in Sarkar Jadunath. History of Aurangzib. Volume III. Bombay: Orient Longman.]

The village of Satara near Aurangabad was my hunting-ground. Here on the top of a hill stood a temple with an image of Khande Rai. By God's grace I demolished it, and forbade the temple dancers (muzrlis) to ply their shameful trade.
