Letter from Hingpo on Mogul marriage and philosophy of happiness
A slave in Persia writes to Fum Hoam describing a lavish Persian wedding planned for Moftadad, with twelve slaves prepared for the triumph, eunuchs and matrons aiding the bride, and a display of wealth to secure fertility. He contrasts Mogul wealth with philosophical serenity and laments the loss of philosophy for material abundance.
