Yet, busy as he was with his prayers, he did not forget to make such efforts as were necessary. To this end he wrote different letters pledging his word, as he is used to do for the deception of the princes. There was one of them who ruled over several districts called Saguer (Sagar), lying in the kingdom of Bíjãpur. He was induced by flatteries to attend the Presence, and was given many honours, and appointed a Chahãr Hazãrí, or commander of 4,000 horse. This was accompanied by the gift of an elephant, horses, and a set of robes which he put on in the royal presence. Full of joy, he set out on his return to his tents, but on the way was attacked by violent fever. On the following day the flesh from his whole body began to peel off; on the third day he quitted his grandeurs along with his life. - [Previous: 339.8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.339.8) - [Next: 339.10](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.339.10) - [Up: 339](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.339) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.339.9](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.339.9) · Pramāṇa
