Their dresses are superb and costly, perfumed with essence of roses. Every day they change their clothes several times; this is due to the vicissitudes in the weather, which occur continually in the Mogul country. When these ladies want to dispose of their jewels, it is almost impossible for them to do so. For Prince Akbar, when he was in the territory of Shiva Ji, finding himself without money, sent five rubies to Goa to be sold. They were equal to those I spoke of above. Yet no one wanted to buy, owing to the high prices he asked, also because they were pierced. - [Previous: 203.1.8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.203.1.8) - [Next: 203.2.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.203.2.2) - [Up: 203.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.203.2) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.203.2.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.203.2.1) · Pramāṇa
