In this way nearly eighty thousand men flocked to him, and on the day when Hājī Khān came from Alwar and gave in his allegiance to him, he shewed him great favour, bestowing upon him a lofty and spacious tent covered on the outside with saqirlāt of Portugal, and on the inside with Frankish velvet, had it freshly pitched for him. Moreover he lavished upon Hājī Khān magnificent carpets, and vessels of gold and silver and all other requirements on the same scale: accordingly he entered the tent without hesitation and there took up his abode. This treatment occasioned great envy and jealousy among the Amīrs of pure Afghan blood, who became disheartened and spared not to express their discontent among themselves. Sikandar, who had a following of twelve thousand men, inasmuch as he estimated the army of Ibrāhīm as being more numerous than his own, shilly-shallied and made overtures for peace, and wrote a treaty in the following terms, that from Dihlī to the eastern extremity of Hindūstān as far as could be arranged, should belong to Ibrāhīm Khān, and that the country of the Panjāb and Multān as far as possible should belong to Sikandar, so that he might attain the object for which the Moghuls came to Hindūstān.
