When he had finished these words he went off on other business, and instantly those servants appeared and claimed the money. They told me they came on behalf of Da,ud Khan. There were several of them, and as soon as one had entered another put in an appearance. They solicited and importuned me to such an extent about this money, for which they said Da,ud Khan was waiting, that I remembered what the other Brahmans had said about not trusting Ramapa. Then I recollected that Da,ud Khan had said he would inform me of the name of the person to whom he desired that I should count out this money. For these reasons, then, I would not deliver it to these servants; but to escape from their importunity, I said that they had only to wait a little while I went to fetch the money. However, instead of doing so, I made all the haste I could to get out and find Da,ud Khan. I discovered him in the midst of many officers conducting a review of his cavalry. In spite of this I went close to him, and twice over whispered into his ear, asking him to be gracious enough to send someone to receive the money.
