On his approach to the city he was met by all the most respectable chiefs of the kingdom; and he had an audience of the King at the Kala Chubootra of Golconda, on which occasion the ambassador presented his letter of credentials, as also various presents which he had brought with him. Among these were a crown studded with rubies, of great value, and a handsome dagger highly ornamented with jewels; forty horses of the purest Arabian breed, with saddles, bridles, and housings covered with gold and precious stones; fifty pieces of the richest velvet, and cloths of European manufacture; twelve pairs of Kirman carpets, and a Persian carpet twelve yards square, besides other valuable products of Persia, which it is unnecessary to describe. The ambassador was received with the highest honours; and after being honoured with valuable presents, one hundred officers of rank, who accompanied him, all received handsome robes, and the palace of Dilgoosha was assigned for their residence. Owing to the invasion of the Moguls into the Deccan at this period, the Persian ambassador resided for six years at Hydrabad; during the whole of which time he received annually two thousand tomans (2000l.) for his personal expenses, besides numerous presents. - [Previous: 120.4.6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.120.4.6) - [Next: 120.4.8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.120.4.8) - [Up: 120.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.120.4) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.120.4.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.120.4.7) · Pramāṇa
