On my departure the Nawab wanted to pay me, but having represented to him that I had to pass through a disturbed country, and had to fear the followers of both armies, I asked him to allow me to draw the money at Daulatabad; this he granted willingly, and on an order which he gave me I was paid on the day following my arrival in that town. The treasurer who counted out the money to me said that he had received the advice four days previously by an express, and that the Nawab had commanded him to pay me promptly; this shows the great precision of the Indians in matters of trade to satisfy debts without delay. - [Previous: 66.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.tavernier~en-ball.66.3) - [Next: 67](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.tavernier~en-ball.67) - [Up: 66](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.tavernier~en-ball.66) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.tavernier~en-ball.66.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.tavernier~en-ball.66.4) · Pramāṇa
