Above all, he sent to I'tibar Khan injunctions to take good care of the king, his prisoner. Needing to seal his letters, he called for the great seal, which was kept in a bag sealed with the small seal worn by the king on his finger. After a search for the seal, it could not be found ; he asked Roshan Ara Begam where his signet ring was. The princess replied that one day when he swooned it fell off his finger, when she had taken charge of it, keeping it beneath her pillow. He sealed the letter and gave it back to her, concealing his suspicion and waiting till he was thoroughly restored to make inquiries into the affair, and find out how they had removed the ring. Aurangzeb did not content himself with the mere recording and issuing of orders, but to prove to the populace that he lived, he caused himself to be carried into a hall full of many nobles and great men, where he showed himself in person. But in withdrawing he hurt himself, the result lasting a long time, and greater trouble than before was caused, for everybody supposed that now he must die. - [Previous: 92.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.92.2) - [Next: 92.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.92.4) - [Up: 92](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.92) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.92.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.92.3) · Pramāṇa
