But I always undeceived him, and told him he was spending uselessly both money and time, and could never conquer impossibilities. Yet these words of mine did not move him from his opinions, he pressed on with the undertaking then in hand, and constantly renewed his experiments.

This is the son above spoken of. After his father's death this son obtained the title of Amãnat Khãn, and was appointed, as I have said, governor of Surat. It happened that after some years I met in the city of Aurangãbãd with the said elder Amãnat Khãn. The old man was still at work on his projects without ever having succeeded. In spite of that, he did not lose hope of attaining his desires, and still went on with new experiments. - [Previous: 345.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.345.7) - [Next: 345.9](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.345.9) - [Up: 345](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.345) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.345.8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.345.8) · Pramāṇa
