They conducted the boy to Ahmadábád, and from thence they carried him to the Court of the Emperor, in the hope of obtaining his protection. The Emperor received the child with the most princely favour, and the good qualities which he exhibited so won upon the Emperor's mind, that his prosperity went on growing until he attained the dignity of Khan-khánán. When the Khan-khanan (Bairam Khan) went to Gujarat, the Emperor proceeded towards Hisár-Firozah on a hunting excursion, but the army was sent on to Dehli, the capital, by the direct route. Having hunted with some leashes of a kind of leopard, which is called chita in Hindi, on the 4th Rabi'u-l awwal, 968 H. (9th Nov., 1560), he arrived at Dehli, and there stopped awhile for a little rest and enjoyment. On the 2nd Rabi'u-s sani he started for Agra by boat, and arrived there on the 12th of the same month. - [Previous: 9.11](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tabaqat-i-akbari~en-elliot.9.11) - [Next: 10.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tabaqat-i-akbari~en-elliot.10.1) - [Up: 9](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tabaqat-i-akbari~en-elliot.9) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tabaqat-i-akbari~en-elliot.9.12](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tabaqat-i-akbari~en-elliot.9.12) · Pramāṇa
