This was the King of Kashghar, a very old man with a few hairs of a beard, such as have the greater number of Chinese, a man of fair complexion. He had been obliged to flee from his country owing to the rebellion of his son, who had usurped his throne. At his reception Aurangzeb made a display of his grandeur, and sent out Ja'far Khan (of whom we have spoken) along with other noble persons of the court, and a number of cavalry to meet and escort him. They attended him into the city, and conducted him to the mansion of Rustam Khan, Dakhinl. The court was much troubled about the form of receiving this king. For Aurangzeb did not wish to break Akbar's rule of not allowing a seat in his presence to anyone but his sons. On the other hand, the world would find an opening for accusing Aurangzeb of overweening pride if he gave no seat in his presence to this king. For although evil fortune had forced him to quit his territories, he did not thereby cease to be of a royal line, into which in other times the Mogul kings had married their sons and their daughters. - [Previous: 144](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.144) - [Next: 145.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.145.2) - [Up: 145](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.145) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.145.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.145.1) · Pramāṇa
