The ambassador and those in his suite said it was the right one, and fell prostrate before it, paying it great veneration, and then rose to their feet and stood with their hands crossed, and showed every mark of devotion. The viceroy said to them: 'What you offer me as the ransom of this tooth is insufficient.' They said: 'Your Excellency has only to order, and all shall be complied with.' The viceroy took the tooth into his hand, and said to him: 'Do you imagine my king is in any want of money, that he has sent me to govern India for monetary considerations? This is not so; I have come to destroy idols, and prove that the faith of Christ is the only true one.' With these words he cast the tooth into the fire near by. The ambassador and his followers were overcome, beating their faces with their own hands, and left the palace with weeping and wailing, and returned to their own country. - [Previous: 276.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.276.2) - [Next: 276.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.276.4) - [Up: 276](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.276) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.276.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.276.3) · Pramāṇa
