Here is an instance: Sultan Mu'izz-ud-din, eldest son of Shah 'Alam, was graciously pleased to act as intermediary, and to intercede for me with his father, to get me back into his service, as I have related more at length in my account of Goa, contained in my Second Part (II. 219). The father, without any other reason, commanded me not to go to the court of the said Sultan, giving him orders at the same time not to send for me. Let him, Shah 'Alam said, employ his own doctors and not me. Upon this subject they had some words, and thereupon separated. Some time afterwards Sultan Mu'izz-ud-din feigned the invalid, and no longer went to the court of his father. As soon as the latter heard of the illness, he sent him his Persian physicians, and these men reported that he was not in the least unwell. To give them the lie and show that he required my treatment, he made one of his women servants suck a place on his neck, and thereby raised a blue mark. On learning that he was suffering from this blue mark, Shah 'Alam, without knowing the cause of it, had the idea that he required bleeding. So he ordered me to see him at his residence, and with a view to satisfying his son, told me to go whenever he sent for me, and in this manner they made it up and were at peace. - [Previous: 211.3.6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.211.3.6) - [Next: 211.4.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.211.4.1) - [Up: 211.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.211.3) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.211.3.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.211.3.7) · Pramāṇa
