They determined to send an ambassador to him, and made choice of Monsieur Adrican, chief of their factory at Sourate. This individual possesses integrity, abilities, and sound judgment; and as he does not disdain the advice offered by the wise and experienced, it is not surprising that he acquitted himself to the satisfaction of his countrymen. Although in his general deportment Aureng-Zebe be remarkably high and unbending, affects the appearance of a zealous Mahometan, and consequently despises Franks or Christians, yet upon the occasion of this embassy, his behaviour was most courteous and condescending. He even expressed a desire that Monsieur Adrican, after that gentleman had performed the Indian ceremony of the Salaam, should approach and salute him à la Frank. The King, it is true, received the letters through the medium of an Omrah, but this could not be considered a mark of disrespect, since he had done the same thing in regard to the letters brought by the Usbec ambassadors. - [Previous: 3.2.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.bernier~en-constable.3.2.5) - [Next: 3.2.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.bernier~en-constable.3.2.7) - [Up: 3.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.bernier~en-constable.3.2) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.bernier~en-constable.3.2.6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.bernier~en-constable.3.2.6) · Pramāṇa
