Julal-ood-Deen Feroze Khiljy was celebrated during his reign for many amiable qualities, and particularly for his mercy and benevolence. He hardly ever punished a fault among his dependents. and was never known to lay violent hands on the property of his wealthy subjects, as is too often the case with despotic monarchs. He was in the habit of associating familiarly, even after his accession, with his former acquaintances, and joining their parties, and drinking wine in moderation with them, the same as before. The following persons are those whom he honoured with his personal friendship, and who were among his principal private associates:— Mullik-Taj-ood-Deen Koochy. Mullik-Fukhr-ood-Deen Koochy. Mullik-Eiz-ood-Deen Ghoory. Mullik Kurra Beg. Mullik-Noosrut Subbah. Mullik-Ahmud Hubeeb. Mullik-Kumal-ood-Deen, Abool Maaly. Mullik-Nusseer-ood-Deen Kohramy. Mullik-Saad-ood-Deen Muntuky. These persons were distinguished as well for their courage and sense as for their wit and good humour. The following learned men were also frequently admitted to the King's private parties: — Taj-ood-Deen Keraky. Ameer Khoosrow. Khwaja-Hussun. Moveiud Deewana. Ameer Arslan Kulamy. Yekhtyar-ood-Deen Yaghy. Baky Khuteer. All these were distinguished for their erudition, and were authors of works of poetry, of history, or of science.
