Boorhan Nizam Shah, who was a person of judgment, partially acceded to the arguments used by Shah Tahir, who now said that he had thought of a mode of averting this indignity. He stated that he had in his possession a Koran in the handwriting of Ally, which Bahadur Shah was very desirous of seeing; that he would carry this with him, so that the King of Guzerat would be compelled to descend from his throne, out of reverence, to meet it. On the following day, accordingly, when the interview was to take place, and the King of Ahmudnuggur with his attendants arrived at the royal tents, Shah Tahir placed the Koran on his head; and Bahadur Shah, seeing him at a distance, asked his vizier, Khoodawund Khan, what he was carrying. Upon being told it was a Koran in the handwriting of Ally, he instantly descended from the throne, kissed it three times, and put it to his eyes and his forehead. He then received the compliments of Boorhan Nizam Shah, and asked him in the Guzerat language if he was well; to which Boorhan Nizam Shah replied in Persian. Bahadur Shah now re-ascended his throne, and Boorhan Nizam Shah and Shah Tahir stood before it.
