He repaired to the imperial court; and although the emperor approved and sanctioned his banishment, he employed him. His gallantry soon won him the title of Rao and the mansab of a leader of three thousand, with the grant of Nagor as an independent domain, to be held directly from the crown. But the same arrogant and uncontrollable spirit \[45\] which lost him his birthright, brought his days to a tragical conclusion. He absented himself for a fortnight from court, hunting the boar or the tiger, his only recreation. The emperor (Shah Jahan) reprimanded him for neglecting his duties, and threatened him with a fine. Amra proudly replied that he had only gone to hunt, and as for a fine, he observed, putting his hand upon his sword, that was his sole wealth. - [Previous: v2.c28.231](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.tod-1829.v2.c28.231) - [Next: v2.c28.233](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.tod-1829.v2.c28.233) - [Up: v2.c28](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.tod-1829.v2.c28) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.tod-1829.v2.c28.232](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.tod-1829.v2.c28.232) · Pramāṇa
