Sen) 25.6 - **Language:** English ### [25.6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.maratha.bakhar.sabhasad-bakhar~en-sen.25.6) You are his son, and it is His Majesty's intention to confer on you an office of great responsibility and get great services at your hands. You should be guided by His Majesty's commands and should not be inattentive to your father's counsel. His Majesty will graciously appoint you his sole wazir." With this intent he has sent the Khan to you. Your conduct appears to be wrong to His Majesty and he has instructed the Khan to demand explanation for everything and to take you with him (to the Badshah). But the Khan says that, 'what is past is past.' If you frankly obey the commands of the Emperor henceforth, all your offences will be pardoned. He undertakes to get your fief and command increased. Take what assurance you want and come and see him. Your father is a Mansabdar of the Empire, and as the Emperor is favourably disposed towards him, His Majesty will grant you a bigger Jagir than that of your father, although you are an offender." To this sense the envoy spoke. The Raje listened to him, and said, — "Your proposal is quite good, and what the Khan proposes is to my profit, and it is my duty to do as he suggests. What I have done is nothing but the subjugation of some turbulent Palegars, the reconquest and settlement of Government lands, the annexation of foreign territories, construction of forts and strongholds, and the organisation of an excellent army. I have thereby added to the wealth and power of the Empire." So said the Raje and gave him leave. - [Previous: 25.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.maratha.bakhar.sabhasad-bakhar~en-sen.25.5) - [Next: 25.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.maratha.bakhar.sabhasad-bakhar~en-sen.25.7) - [Up: 25](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.maratha.bakhar.sabhasad-bakhar~en-sen.25) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.maratha.bakhar.sabhasad-bakhar~en-sen.25.6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.maratha.bakhar.sabhasad-bakhar~en-sen.25.6) · Pramāṇa
