Vangogi (Venko Ji) aforesaid, ever an enemy of our holy religion, inspired the king with the idea that he could bring all to a conclusion, and that there was no necessity for displaying so much agitation. Sixthly, Sobral having demanded a reply to the nawab's letter, the minister told him that, being merely recommendatory, it required no answer. Besides, said he, the nawab is king in that country, but not in Tanjor; consequently, he had no business to interfere in the affair. He added that if the nawab gave sanction to the rebuilding of the pagoda of Canjivaron (Kanchi-varam, Canjevaram), as had been demanded of him, he (the rajah) would permit the restoration of the Christians' church. In fine, this minister betrayed a great deal of pride and much self-confidence, telling us or letting us understand that although the protector that we had sought out, and the person who had procured us the recommendation, had great credit, he had no fear of them whatever might happen. Thus he dismissed Sobral without any reply for the nawab, in spite of one having been prepared which Sobral actually saw. - [Previous: 281.26.6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.281.26.6) - [Next: 281.26.8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.281.26.8) - [Up: 281.26](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.281.26) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.281.26.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.281.26.7) · Pramāṇa
