Life and leisure of an eastern ruler in Richards Davy account
In a passage from Life of the Suttas by Richard Davey the ruler's routine is sketched. He rises at six and oversees secretaries, drives or rows on a lake, hosts the grand vizier and diplomats, dines with embassies, and views grand silver treasures. His evenings feature piano duets with children, a fondness for lighthouses, and the European style dress of a polished courtly figure.
