The King of Ethiopia sent to claim these instruments as the would-be lord thereof, and because the Mogul possessed them without his previous consent; while Aurangzeb sent them in quite another spirit, declaring by this action that this king was his vassal. For it is the practice, when the Mogul king gives nobility to any of his subjects, for him to confer robes, trumpets, and drums. In addition, he gave them twenty thousand gold coins and rupees, and told them that he sent this money to their king because he was told there were not any such coins in Ethiopia. - [Previous: 111.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.111.7) - [Next: 111.9](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.111.9) - [Up: 111](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.111) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.111.8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.111.8) · Pramāṇa
