I saw that these campaigns would not soon come to an end, and thus I should be forced to wander here and there and everywhere with the prince's camp. I took my measures for flight, as was my intention. The first thing I did was to pray the ambassador from the Portuguese to wait for me with his galliot (armed boat). For when the prince started to march with his army I meant to get back to Goa with him (the envoy). He gave me his word that he would await me. Then I resolved to return the two thousand rupees given me by Shah 'Alam to enable me to march with the army. I did not want it said of me that Hakim Niculao fled after having received two thousand rupees. So I took them to Sultan Mu'izz-ud-din, Shah 'Alam's heir, and asked him to consent to holding the said two thousand rupees, as I had no place to put them. He ordered his eunuch to take charge of them. - [Previous: 185.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.185.7) - [Next: 186.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.186.2) - [Up: 186](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.186) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.186.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.186.1) · Pramāṇa
