As for your slaves, it is easy for them to live contentedly on a handful of corn, and a mouthful of water, and with a little coarse cloth for their dress. The opinion of your majesty is the best.” - [Previous: 35.1.8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.conquest.chachnama~en-kalichbeg.35.1.8) - [Next: 35.2.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.conquest.chachnama~en-kalichbeg.35.2.1) - [Up: 35.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.conquest.chachnama~en-kalichbeg.35.1) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.conquest.chachnama~en-kalichbeg.35.1.9](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.conquest.chachnama~en-kalichbeg.35.1.9) · Pramāṇa
