In acknowledgment of the kindness I anticipate at your hands, I suggest a plan by which you may easily obtain possession both of the King's person and kingdom. Confide in my integrity, and the enterprise will neither be difficult nor dangerous: assemble four or five thousand of your choicest cavalry, and proceed by forced marches towards Golkonda, which may be reached in sixteen days, spreading a rumour that this body of horse is escorting an ambassador from Chah-Jehan, who has affairs of moment to negotiate with the King at Bagnaguer. - [Previous: 2.3.6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.bernier~en-constable.2.3.6) - [Next: 2.3.8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.bernier~en-constable.2.3.8) - [Up: 2.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.bernier~en-constable.2.3) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.bernier~en-constable.2.3.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.bernier~en-constable.2.3.7) · Pramāṇa
