With these demonstrations of friendliness and such-like talk Akbar took his leave, the rajah escorting him as far as the gate. When the false friend and great conqueror Akbar found himself there, he raised his hand to his neck and took off a string of pearls of inestimable value, saying to the rajah : 'I offer you this string of pearls in remembrance of me, and as a mark of how much I like you.' So saying, he put the necklace round the rajah's neck. Then he (Akbar) embraced the rajah with both arms in such a manner that all of a sudden he dragged him out of the fort gateway. The five hundred men in Akbar's retinue placed their hands on their swords, and began to strike out right and left; and men held ready for the purpose ran up and carried off the rajah to the army before his soldiers could come to his assistance. - [Previous: 60.2.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.60.2.3) - [Next: 60.2.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.60.2.5) - [Up: 60.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.60.2) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.60.2.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.60.2.4) · Pramāṇa
