On the arrival of the messengers, the clever eunuchs received the gifts, and, approaching the palanquin, pretended to deliver the message and receive the reply, which they invented themselves and sent back to the king. Once they returned an answer to the king that he must relieve her from such constant gifts, for was she not already assured of his affection and goodwill? The only thing yet to be done was to say goodbye to her husband, when she would be at his disposal. So great was the anxiety of Akbar to see the beloved Padmini delivered into his hands that he feared she might take her life with her own hands, believing that she spoke the truth, and he was anxious that nothing should be done to displease her. He sent back word that she might advance in all confidence, that he gave her the liberty of going wherever she pleased. - [Previous: 60.2.9](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.60.2.9) - [Next: 60.3.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.60.3.2) - [Up: 60.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.60.3) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.60.3.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.60.3.1) · Pramāṇa
