Whenever a word escapes the lips of the King, if at all to the purpose, how trifling soever may be its import, it is immediately caught by the surrounding throng; and the chief Omrahs, extending their arms towards heaven, as if to receive some benediction, exclaim Karamat ! Karamat ! wonderful ! wonderful ! he has spoken wonders ! Indeed there is no Mogol who does not know and does not glory in repeating this proverb in Persian verse: Aguer chah ronzra Goyed cbeb est in Bubayed Gouft inck mab ou peruin. \[Should the King say that it is night at noon Be sure to cry, Behold I see the moon !\] - [Previous: 5.5.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.bernier~en-constable.5.5.3) - [Next: 5.5.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.bernier~en-constable.5.5.5) - [Up: 5.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.bernier~en-constable.5.5) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.bernier~en-constable.5.5.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.bernier~en-constable.5.5.4) · Pramāṇa
