To these he answered the exact contrary of what is the case, when His Majesty displayed his admiration, and seemed perfectly satisfied with the reply, while the Hindu prince rubbed his hands, bit his lips, and changed colour, displaying every sign of wishing to speak and instruct them as to the truth. But, on account of his wager, he did not dare to speak unless spoken to by the king. - [Previous: 60.4.8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.60.4.8) - [Next: 60.5.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.60.5.1) - [Up: 60.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.60.4) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.60.4.9](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.60.4.9) · Pramāṇa
