Then they played a piece which showed the misgovernment existing in the kingdom of Gujarat. The king was in astonishment at the wrongs represented, and said : ' Can there be a man in the world to do such wrongful acts ?' All the veritable merchants, but pretended actors, prostrated themselves on the ground before the king, and said to him : ' Let it be known to your majesty that everything we represented for your amusement is actually done by the governor. Disbursing our money, we tried in vain to lay before your majesty our complaints, therefore we have invented this device.' The king made inquiries, and finding that everything was true, he issued orders that the governor should be carried a prisoner to the fortress called Rotasgar (Ruhtas-garh), which is near Patana (Patnah), in the region of Bemgalla (Bengal), there to remain for the rest of his life. It is a rule that he who enters the said fortress ends his life there in misery on insufficient food. The king ordered all the governor's goods to be confiscated, whereby he was deprived of much ill-gotten wealth. - [Previous: 65.5.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.65.5.1) - [Next: 65.5.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.65.5.3) - [Up: 65.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.65.5) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.65.5.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.65.5.2) · Pramāṇa
