The king made no remark. Noticing this, Ja'far Khan dissembled for that day. When next he came to court he placed one foot farther forward than was allowed by the regulations. On seeing this, the king said to him it appeared he was oblivious of the general customs and regulations \[68\], having put himself in advance of the customary position. Ja'far Khan made the wise reply that wazirs held the first place, and to show the difference between himself and the Mir Bakhshi he was forced to step more forward. The king recognised the error he had made, and instead of reproving the general he made excuses to his wazir, saying it should not recur, and the petition made to him was granted. Thus was Ja'far Khan still more respected at the court. All of these men spoken of above \[the rajahs\] maintain at the court their own agents, provided with considerable sums of money, and these men assist their employers whenever it is found necessary. - [Previous: 238.2.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.238.2.7) - [Next: 238.2.9](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.238.2.9) - [Up: 238.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.238.2) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.238.2.8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.238.2.8) · Pramāṇa
