He keeps in Dehly and Agra from two to three thousand fine horses, always at hand in case of emergency: eight or nine hundred elephants, and a large number of baggage horses, mules, and porters, intended to carry the numerous and capacious tents, with their fittings, his wives and women, furniture, kitchen apparatus, Ganges'-water, and all the other articles necessary for the camp, which the Mogol has always about him, as in his capital, things which are not considered necessary in our kingdoms in Europe. Add to this, if you will, the enormous expenses of the Seraglio, where the consumption of fine cloths of gold, and brocades, silks, embroideries, pearls, musk, amber and sweet essences, is greater than can be conceived. - [Previous: 4.4.8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.bernier~en-constable.4.4.8) - [Next: 4.5.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.bernier~en-constable.4.5.2) - [Up: 4.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.bernier~en-constable.4.5) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.bernier~en-constable.4.5.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.bernier~en-constable.4.5.1) · Pramāṇa
