The Caliph's envoy was met 12 miles outside the city by the King in person, who advanced to receive him on foot, put the letter of the Caliph upon his head, and opened it with great solemnity and respect. When he returned into the city, he ordered a grand festival to be made, and caused the public prayers to be said in all the mosques, striking out every king's name from the Khootba who had not been confirmed. Among the number of those degraded monarchs was the King's own father. He even carried this fancy so far as to cause the Caliph's name to appear on all his robes, and furniture. The ambassador, after having been sumptuously entertained, received a letter to his master, full of respect, and also many presents of great value. He was accompanied on his return by Kubeer Khan, commander of the household troops. - [Previous: 40.3.6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.40.3.6) - [Next: 40.3.8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.40.3.8) - [Up: 40.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.40.3) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.40.3.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.40.3.7) · Pramāṇa
