and as he was skilled in astrology, and by the divine favour had an insight into futurity, he told me, on my departure, that I should one day be a king over a portion of Hindoostan. On which, taking from his pocket a quantity of gold coin, he gave it to me, and conferred on me his blessing, saying, 'Consider this as a symbol of your future success.' It is unnecessary to say that this circumstance made a deep impression on my mind, and I already fancied myself a king, when my uncle and I proceeded together towards India. Having got over the voyage, we went direct to the city of Ahmudabad Bidur, then the capital of the Deccan. After two or three days we had an audience of Mahmood Shah Bahmuny, and presented the horses and other rarities we had brought with us, after which a place was allotted by the King for our residence. Shortly afterwards, my uncle requested his audience of leave to return to his native country; and although the King did all he could to induce him to remain, he could not be prevailed on, particularly as he had just heard of the death of the inveterate enemy of the family, Ameer Yakoob Beg, from whose tyranny I was compelled to fly. Mahmood Shah Bahmuny, unable to persuade my uncle to stay, insisted on his leaving me at the court, declaring he would treat me as his own child. I readily embraced the opportunity, and my uncle left India alone."
