When he arrived at a certain age, he found he had expended the little property which he inherited, and he therefore entered the King’s army as a private horseman. He was excessively addicted to the chase; and one day having attracted the notice of some of the courtiers on a hunting party, while he attended the King, he was admitted into the gholam khas, or the life-guard of Feroze Toghluk. Some time after this, it happened when the King was on a sporting excursion in Guzerat that his Majesty followed an antelope thirteen or fourteen coss (from twenty-six to twenty-eight miles), and his attendants, excepting one or two, were all left behind. The King and his steed were completely exhausted. Far removed from the camp, and with his horse jaded, it appeared improbable that he could reach it for many hours. At this moment a horseman was descried at a distance, leading a brace of greyhounds, whom the King’s party beckoned towards them. Upon his arrival he was asked if any thing could be procured to eat. He replied, pointing to his steed, which carried some game, that he had some venison, and if his Majesty pleased, he would instantly strike a light and dress it. - [Previous: 231](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.231) - [Next: 232.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.232.2) - [Up: 232](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.232) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.232.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.232.1) · Pramāṇa
