In return they are given a receipt to serve as a passport, but when they travel to another kingdom or province of this empire the said passport is of no value. On their outward and their return journey the same amount is collected. In this way the merchants suffer from great impositions, and thus many of them and of the bankers are ruined. Aurangzeb rejoices over these failures, in the belief that by such extortions these Hindus will be forced into embracing the Mahomedan faith. - [Previous: 339.13](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.339.13) - [Next: 340.1.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.340.1.1) - [Up: 339](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.339) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.339.14](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.339.14) · Pramāṇa
