Learning that he was about to reach the boundary of the Hindustan kingdom, Aurangzeb sent to meet him an officer called Abdulbeg ('Abdullah Beg), formerly police officer of Shahjahan\[abad\], a man of good judgment. His orders were to receive the ambassador at the frontier and to discover his intentions, not sparing expense. He must also succeed in particularly impressing on him the ceremonial of the Indian court, the obligatory obeisances, and how it was an ancient practice from Akbar's days up to that time that Mogul kings accord seats to no one, and do not take a letter direct from the hand of any man. Letters are delivered to the wazlr, and he reads them to the king. After he had given him this information, he was to find out if the ambassador was minded to make the accustomed obeisances and to put the letter into the hands of the wazlr. On all these points he was to report to court minutely. - [Previous: 89.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.89.4) - [Next: 90.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.90.2) - [Up: 90](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.90) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.90.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.90.1) · Pramāṇa
