Ramraaje received him with the greatest respect,² and the sultan with the kindest persuasions prevailed upon him to lay aside his mourning. The wife of Ramraaje adopted the sultan as her son, and at the end of three days, which were spent in interchanges of friendly professions, he took his leave; but as Ramraaje did not attend him out of the city, he was disgusted, and treasured up the affront in his mind, though too prudent to show any signs of displeasure for the present.”³ - [Previous: c19.134](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.sewell-1900.c19.134) - [Next: c19.136](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.sewell-1900.c19.136) - [Up: c19](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.sewell-1900.c19) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.sewell-1900.c19.135](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.sewell-1900.c19.135) · Pramāṇa
