During this journey I learnt the Turkish and Persian languages. Finding myself established in India, I now set to work to learn the Indian tongue. Furthermore, as I was desirous of knowing about matters in the Mogul kingdom, I found an aged man of letters, who offered to read to me the 'Royal Chronicles of the Mogul kings and princes.' Therefore, I am of opinion that the reader will be glad to listen to me, seeing that I have special information. I will speak of all the Mogul kings in my Second Book, which will close with the death of Aurangzeb's brothers, and therein will be seen what happened to me. - [Previous: 48.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.48.7) - [Next: 49](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.49) - [Up: 48](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.48) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.48.8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.48.8) · Pramāṇa
