347.1.9

'In Aurangzeb's reign the vile and low are favoured ; They pass by in mighty state and arrogance, These are his companions and counsellors ; they govern all : The noble and learned are undone, he uses not such, they have no place at his court. The whole world wonders at seeing such misrule ; Behold to what condition we are reduced ! Asses plant kicks on noble horses, great men ride in fear. Not a soul pays any attention to the King's orders ; The officials trade, buying and selling offices at court ; To-day, when done eating, they break their salt-cellar and pay him with ingratitude.'
