This day was fixed by the astrologers when they came to see him. On beholding the throne afar off, A'zam Tãrã stopped, and raising his hands and eyes to heaven, prayed God to grant him favour and confer on him understanding to govern with strict justice, and gain the victory over his enemies. He appeared clad in rich vestments adorned with precious stones. His prayer finished, he sat on the throne at ten o'clock, and remained seated until midday. He ordered new money to be coined, one-twelfth part larger than the pieces current, and of the small change he ordered two coins to be made into one. Thus nowadays one rupee is worth thirty-two pieces of copper. Upon the new coin were impressed the words: 'Secadzad der Jaan badablout iaè Patxa mamalek Azamxa' (Sikkah zad dar jahãn ba daulat wa jãh Pãdshãh-i-mamãlik-i-A'zam Shãh). which means 'Struck . . .' \[the rest is wanting\]. \[342\] Omitted fols. 342-345, account of events following the Battle of Jãjau in June, 1707, which has already been taken from Part IV. (Codex XLIV., fol 241). - [Previous: 370.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.370.4) - [Next: 371.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.371.1) - [Up: 370](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.370) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.370.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.370.5) · Pramāṇa
