238.2.7

Aurangzeb, as proof of his justness and to advertise his good deeds, sends out every day to walk through the principal square a fierce lion in the company of a goat that has been brought up alongside it from birth. This is to show that his decisions are just and equal, without any bias. This is done at court solely that the world may be notified of his justice. But I say, having experienced it, that at this day neither at court nor in any other part of his empire is there any justice ; no one thinks of anything but how to plunder. Nor can the king find any remedy. Although he prides himself on his high sagacity and perfection in every point, Ja'far Khan did not fail to give him once a good lesson, just to let him understand how defective was his policy.
