281.12.5

After an interval of some days the king accorded him his first audience, where nothing of any significance passed, beyond his producing several considerable presents, of which, however, the prince accepted only a trifling part. He made great efforts to get his business concluded quickly; but he was not acquainted with the customs of this court, and had no faithful adviser, thus the more he sought to advance the farther off he got. Some months afterwards he went to the court and presented a statement of the things [35] he wished them to grant. In it he asked for factories on the coast of Choromandal, GingilT, and Bengal. After this the king gave him permission to leave, and sent word he would give him a reply later on.
