His diligent attendance at the Royal Library attracted the attention of the keeper of the manuscripts, the Abb Sallier, whose influence procured for him a small salary as a student of the Oriental languages. He first lighted on some fragments of the Vendidad, a portion of the collection of texts that make up the Avesta, and formed the project of a voyage to India to discover the works of Zoroaster . With this end in view he enlisted as a private soldier, on 2 November 1754, on the Indian expedition which was about to depart from the port of L'Orient . His friends procured his discharge, and he was granted a free passage, a seat at the captain's table, and a salary, the amount of which was to be fixed by the governor of the French settlement in India.
