### [203.3.6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.203.3.6)

In regard to this it once happened to me that I was treating a little child of Sultan Mu'izz-ud-din for a small sore he had on his head. One day I said laughingly, to make him forget the pain he felt, that he must not be angry. The eunuchs and the matrons who were present found what I had said to be most extraordinary, and replying to me, they said that Mogul princes were never disturbed in mind, and all they did was void of passion and full of prudence. When the king goes out to hunt or to visit the mosque, he takes these young princes with him. This is the mode in which they are brought up inside the palace until the age of sixteen years. At this age they are married. . . . The tutors are retained all their lives in the palace with a decent pension. After a prince is married the king gives him a separate palace, with a great income and a large establishment; but along with all that he always keeps near them good tutors and most careful spies, who inform him of all that passes every day.
