We were conducted to a house made ready for the purpose, and after three days a captain came, accompanied by several cavalry soldiers, to visit the ambassador on behalf of the chief minister of the king. He presented congratulations on our arrival, with many compliments and offers of service. Subsequently the ambassador paid a visit to the chief minister, called Etmadolat \['Azamat-ud-daulah\], which means 'Modesty of Wealth,' by whom he was well received with many polite speeches and compliments, in which the Persians are never wanting. Between them there was much conversation in the Turkish language, the chief object of which was directed to finding out what presents we had brought for the King of Persia; secondly, to know the ambassador's rank, so that the proper honours might be paid to his person. Hearing from the Armenians that he (Bellomont) was of a great family, 'Azamat-ud-daulah sent to Smyrna to obtain information whether or not he were of the great family that he claimed to be. Meanwhile, after eight days from our arrival, we were sent for to the royal palace, into which we went through numerous gates, ending in a large courtyard, in the midst of which stood two beautiful trees full of shade. Beneath them were two lions fastened with heavy golden chains ; before each lion was a large golden basin full of water. - [Previous: 31](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.31) - [Next: 32.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.32.2) - [Up: 32](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.32) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.32.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.32.1) · Pramāṇa
