Last of all, a letter for Shah 'Abbas was made over to him, and a small escritoire of gold covered with precious stones. This was closed and sealed up, and was to be made over to his king; no one knew what was in it \[38\]. The ambassador left the court, but at his departure there were no festivities equal to those at his arrival. At the time of the return journey, Aurangzeb wrote to Khalilullah Khan at Lahor that he must send men to every ferry to search the ambassador's packages, and strict measures were taken to prevent his taking any men of India to Persia. Aurangzeb acted thus because the Persians call the people of India slaves (so it was said), but the real reason is not known. The order of the king was carried out with such rigour that they took away all the slaves he had bought. Nor did it avail to hide them in boxes, for they were found and dragged out. Thus the ambassador went back to Persia affronted. But since kings know not how to forgive, Shah 'Abbas took his revenge after some years when Aurangzeb sent to him an ambassador, as in its place I shall recount (II. 96). - [Previous: 90.11](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.90.11) - [Next: 91.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.91.1) - [Up: 90](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.90) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.90.12](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.90.12) · Pramāṇa
