He had received no small favour ;—it was the gift of a crown added to the gift of life. As a mark of his gratitude he laid before Nadir Shah the accumulated treasures stores and rare possessions of the rulers of Dihli as presents to Nadir and offerings for his health (nisar). But the gracious sovereign of Persia refused to take any of these things, though the piled-up wealth of all the other kings of the world did not amount to a tenth part of a tenth part of this immense hoard. At last he yielded to the importunity of Muhammad Shah and appointed trusty officers to take delivery of the money and other property.” - [Previous: v2.c19.s1.6](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.irvine-1922.v2.c19.s1.6) - [Next: v2.c19.s1.8](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.irvine-1922.v2.c19.s1.8) - [Up: v2.c19.s1](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.irvine-1922.v2.c19.s1) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.irvine-1922.v2.c19.s1.7](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.irvine-1922.v2.c19.s1.7) · Pramāṇa
