He followed the old woman's advice and became master of all his adversary's country, but he could not capture the king himself; therefore he issued a proclamation that whoever caught him should receive a reward. When he heard this, the prince disguised himself and fled, hiding himself in a tower. It happened that a herdsman, searching for a cow he had lost, entered the tower. He was a man whom the prince recognised ; supposing that he had come to search for him, he drew forth some jewels and gave them to the herdsman, praying him not to say a word to anyone. The herdsman went off with the jewels to the abode of Taimur-i-lang in the hope of selling them and then buying another cow. On his arrival he was brought before Taimur-i-lang, who asked where he had got these jewels. The herdsman answered : ' You take the jewels and give me a cow.' They bound him until he confessed where he had obtained the jewels. He admitted that a man in a tower not far off had given them to him. They presented the herdsman with two cows, and by Taimur-i-lang's orders started for the said tower, where they laid hold of the fugitive prince and threw him down from the wall. Taimur-i-lang remained the master, and began to increase in strength. - [Previous: 50.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.50.5) - [Next: 50.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.50.7) - [Up: 50](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.50) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.50.6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.50.6) · Pramāṇa
