And one of his liberal actions was this, that one day he went out with his courtiers, 'Abd-ullah Khan Uzbek being of the number, and on this occasion several vessels full of fine stuffs and precious jewels were brought before him. no sooner had he seen them, than he gave them up to 'Abd-ulla Khan Uzbek. And another instance of Chingiz Khan's liberality is the following: Mir 'Arif Safavi Husaini (who now holds the gift of dominion over Jims) posted [bags of tankahs to give away to people]. Now it is famous [that he had received all these treasures and hoards from Chingiz Khan, and that all the money he gave away bore the stamp of [Mubarak Shah] (but God knows!). Then Miran Mubarak Shah of Burhanpur sent ambassadors, who accepted his homage. And I'timad Khan accompanied them, brought the daughter of [Miran with suitable gifts and presents to the Court. And] one of the Amirs of the Deccan came and did homage to the Emperor. And in the month of Muharram of the year nine hundred and seventy-two (972) the Emperor went from Mandu to Narwar. He appointed Qazi Bahadur Khan to the government of that district, and himself went hunting [in the direction of Barodah and Gwalior] and in the month of Rabi'ul-awwal returned to his capital. [Twins, Hasan and Husain by name, were in this year born of one of his wives, but in the course of one month went to the other world.]
