She was delivered secretly of a boy, at which she was extremely rejoiced, imagining that Da,ud Khan would not be so cruel to this child as he had been to the others, more especially as it was his only heir. However, fearing that this tyrant might do some cruel deed to this innocent creature, she told his brother Bedercan (Bahadur Khan) about it, with the object that he should speak to Da,ud Khan, and so arrange matters that he should not deal with this child as he had done with his daughters by taking their lives. For this purpose Bahadur Khan presented the cruel wretch with a tray filled with gold coins. Da,ud Khan asked him what this novel act meant. He replied : ' My lord, it is to congratulate you upon the new heir that Heaven has given you. As it is \[150\] a male child, I pray you to give it the name of our father.' - [Previous: 334.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.334.3) - [Next: 334.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.334.5) - [Up: 334](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.334) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.334.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.334.4) · Pramāṇa
