Each day he holds two audiences, where without distinction anyone can gain admission. He listens patiently to complaints, and causes the judgment he pronounces to be executed upon the spot. In spite of all these exertions, his kingdom is overrun with men whose only profession is to act as false witnesses or to forge signatures. These wretches assume a most modest attitude and attire, so that they impose upon people. They wear the clothes of penitents, have long beards, hold a chaplet constantly in their hand, and as they tell their beads are for ever mumbling a prayer. Such men are greatly in fashion, because they seem to be conforming to the king's intentions. Yet the whole country is full of the disorder that these hypocrites have sown in families by their vile falsehoods. For in this vile science they possess all imaginable skill and acuteness. I will lay one example before you. - [Previous: 281.3.8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.281.3.8) - [Next: 281.4.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.281.4.2) - [Up: 281.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.281.4) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.281.4.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.281.4.1) · Pramāṇa
