This was the time at which, as I have related (II. 122-124), Shah 'Alam was busy trying to get hold of Shiva Ji, and I was informed of the friar's death in the way that I have recounted (II. 121). I went on through Burhanpur, where I found several friends among the servants of Jai Singh, all disconsolate at the death of that great general. I felt his death very much, although I had no intention of re-entering his service, for I wanted to start as a doctor. Thence I went on to Agrah, where I visited the Jesuit fathers, and reported to them what was going on at Goa. I did not stay long, but passed on to Dihli. Thereupon, on learning of my arrival, there was no fail of women who proposed marriage to me and sent me cloth and money and banquets of food. One of them sent me fifty gold coins and a horse, and handsome stuff to make me clothes. I went to see Kirat Singh, the younger son of Rajah Jai Singh, who, in remembrance of the great affection his father held me in, and which he continued to me, gave me a set of robes, two horses, and five rupees every day, and a handsome house to live in. By this means those envious of my good fortune, who had expected to see me under the necessity of applying to them for my expenses, knowing that I was out of service, were in amazement at seeing me well dressed, owning horses, and keeping servants. Any foreigner who is out of employment can only subsist in a miserable fashion in that country. - [Previous: 138.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.138.5) - [Next: 139](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.139) - [Up: 138](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.138) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.138.6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.138.6) · Pramāṇa
