There is much iron, which is used for swords, lances, and other weapons. With respect to the weapons of this country, there once happened a comical adventure to King Shahjahan. This prince said one day to Rajah Chattar Sal Rae that he should like to pay him a visit in his country. The rajah replied that the very next day he would show him all he wanted to see. Next morning at sunrise \[60\] Chattar Sal Rae brought out a division of cavalry twenty thousand strong, all provided with swords and holding their lances in their hands. He posted them before the royal palace on the river bank. Then he set round them a number of infantry, also with spears. On beholding this array the king seemed astonished. Then the rajah spoke. He said to the prince : ' Sire, by this spectacle your Majesty is absolved from going any farther to inspect my country, for I can assure you that it is all exactly what you have under your eyes.' The king concealed the vexation caused him by such a compliment, and then retorted that he knew very well that he was a loyal vassal, whose valour would be useful against his enemies. Afterwards he gave him a set of robes (sarapa), with some horses, and sent him back to his own country. He was sent for again when Aurangzeb and Murad Bakhsh came against Prince Dara, and there he lost his life, as I have stated in my First Part (I. 191). - [Previous: 237.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.237.2) - [Next: 237.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.237.4) - [Up: 237](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.237) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.237.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.237.3) · Pramāṇa
