24.4.8

But as the injunction had been pronounced aloud, and in the presence of so many friends and foes, as well as of all those multitudes that had come out to meet or to see the Viceroy, it did not fail to cover that senseless and ill-fated man with confusion and shame. Shytab-ray, on the contrary, was admitted to the honor of the Lord's presence, and received with much regard and favour. Whereas Durdj-narain having drank from the hands of arrogance and inattention several glasses of wholesome, but bitter beverage, stopped short, and returned back; and now grown wiser from this rebuke, he in a short time provided for the payment of the outstanding balances, and soon obtained leave to make his bow; after which he mixed in the Viceroy's cortege, and passed the Ganga together with Shytab-ray.
