I therefore dissembled, and made display of goodwill and a desire to be of service to His Majesty. I mounted my horse and went with them, in all pomp and magnificence, until we got to Gulkandah. When I appeared to make my obeisance to the king, he declared himself pleased at my coming. Urgently I begged him, as I had come under protection of his word, not to deliver me into the hands of Shah 'Alam. By this he was somewhat disconcerted, and fixed my pay at seven hundred rupees a month. But I declared that I would not accept pay, that I meant to serve him for nothing. Nevertheless he sent seven hundred rupees to my abode, and while I was with him he ordered a set of robes to be conferred on me. He gave a private order to post a hundred horsemen in the street where I was staying to prevent anyone interfering with me. - [Previous: 189.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.189.1) - [Next: 189.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.189.3) - [Up: 189](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.189) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.189.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.189.2) · Pramāṇa
