Am not I rightfully regent during my brother's minority? If I advance no claim to the gaddi, do you think that I am to be set aside altogether? Let this man Jirad know that I have the promise of Antni Sahib's support."
In cases only of the clearest injustice on the part of its ally, can a nation rightfully avoid a positive engagement to afford assistance.
