The governor of the country took possession of his wife and of all the merchandise. Monsieur Delavale sought refuge in another province of the same kingdom, ruled over by a man who was an enemy to the other governor. The followers of this pirate Delavale are two in number, one called Monsieur Masson, the other Monsieur de Roubai. These events have caused such consternation among the merchants that not one of them will venture on a voyage to that port. Although the King Aurangzeb had occupation enough in fighting the Mahrattahs, in conquering different rajahs, and in many other enterprises, he never overlooked the question of getting his son Sultān Akbar into his power. This son, then in Persia, was invited back by many letters, none of which had any effect. At last, in the year 1689, he wrote him one in the most loving terms. It was also the last one sent ; its terms were as follows : ' My beloved son, light of my eyes, part of my heart, Akbar ! I write to you, swearing upon the word of the Ruler over kings, and be God my witness \[40\], that I esteem and love you more than my other sons. You were ever my solace and consolation, and lightened my afflictions when you were present. Now that you are so far away, I feel their whole weight, and must endure them. - [Previous: 346.3.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.346.3.1) - [Next: 346.3.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.346.3.3) - [Up: 346.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.346.3) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.346.3.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.346.3.2) · Pramāṇa
