Should he be forced to allow the building of churches and the exercise of that new religion, then he, too, must be permitted to thoroughly restore his ancient Hindu pagodas at Conjevaram and at other places in the Karnātik. In consequence, leave must be conceded to the Brahmans to live there and exercise their rites in accordance with ancient custom. Upon receipt of this reply, Dā,ud Khān willingly received the present, and wrote again to him at once that he must continue to pay his tribute to the Mogul; as for the rest, it seemed to him that his arguments were most judicious, and, as far as he was concerned, he would ever be found ready to favour the prince's interests. The aforesaid fathers made the same proposition also to me, attempting to persuade me to put such pressure on Dā,ud Khān as might induce him to declare war upon the prince in question, and to that intent they offered to give him at once 10,000 patacas; but I declined to interfere on any terms in such a business, as will have been already seen (IV. 81). - [Previous: 344.1.6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.344.1.6) - [Next: 344.1.8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.344.1.8) - [Up: 344.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.344.1) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.344.1.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.344.1.7) · Pramāṇa
