Thus, at sight of this, forward him to me in chains. If you do not act as I command you I will chastise you severely, as I did Dara.' The wazir, Asad Khan, after having sealed the letter, laid it before the king, saying : 'Here is the letter, in conformity with your Majesty's commands ; now you can nominate the person who is to take it ; as for the answer, I know not who will bring it.' Thereby he conveyed to the king that he who carried the letter would be beheaded, and King Sulaiman would march in person against India. On hearing this opinion, Aurangzeb said some evasive words, but the letter in question was never dispatched. We went to Vingorla, and the prince captured that place easily, seeing that nearly everybody took to flight. The fleet continued to accompany us. After a few days the Portuguese ambassadors arrived; they were Joao Antunes Portugal and Manoel de Santo Pinto. They brought some showy presents, and lengths of ornamented China cloth, some lovely branches of coral, and six small pieces of artillery, with other objects, the whole being worth a good amount. - [Previous: 185.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.185.1) - [Next: 185.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.185.3) - [Up: 185](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.185) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.185.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.185.2) · Pramāṇa
