It has already been related how Khan-khanan conducted the mother of Khan-zaman and Ibrahim Khan, with Mir Hadi Sadr and Nizam Aka, to the Court of the Emperor. Ibrahim Khan, with uncovered head and with a sword and shroud upon his neck, stepped forward, and Khán-khánán entreated forgiveness. He urged that the services of Khán-zamán and his brother to the Imperial throne were manifest to all men, and the services they had rendered were invaluable. By the influence of their destiny they had now been guilty of an offence; but he trusted that the boundless mercy and kindness of His Majesty would look with an eye of tenderness upon the faults of such useful servants.
