Yoosoof Adil Khan now returned to Ahmudabad Bidur, where he laid before the King such sums of money and jewels, besides presenting several elephants and horses, that the rich booties of Rajmundry and Nowlgoond appeared insignificant when compared with them. Mahomed Shah accordingly conferred on Yoosoof Adil Khan great honours; observing, that whoever had Khwaja Mahmood Gawan as his father could not fail of performing important services. The King, on this occasion, directed Khwaja Mahmood Gawan to entertain Yoosoof Adil Khan for a week at his own house, with every possible magnificence. The minister observed, that without the King's presence the feast would be incomplete. Mahmood Shah declined participating in an entertainment prepared for another guest; but promised that he would honour his house with a visit of a week, after the festival to Adil Khan was ended.
