At that time the sons of Mirza Sultán Husain, who had revolted against their illustrious father, had repented and had been allowed to kiss his feet, and they now surrounded the Mirza's throne with honour and respect. When my father arrived in Herat, the people came out to receive him, and attended his passage with honour. They then conducted him to a magnificent residence — worthy of his rank — which they had made ready for him. \[When my father went to pay his respects to Mirza Sultan Husain\], Mir Muhammad Baranduk Barlás, who had been one of the Amirs of Sháh Rukh and who, at that time, in respect of age, rank, understanding, intelligence, and knowledge of the laws and customs, had not his equal among the whole of the Chaghatái Ulus, came and spoke to my father about kneeling at the audience. My father agreed to his proposals. The Mirza also showed my father great honour, and placed him above all his children, even above his son Bádi-uz-Zamán, who was the eldest and most respected of the Mirza's sons. In this city, which might have been compared to Paradise, my father commanded the utmost respect and distinction, and enjoyed every possible luxury. - [Previous: 116](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.kashmir.tarikh-i-rashidi~en-ross.116) - [Next: 117.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.kashmir.tarikh-i-rashidi~en-ross.117.2) - [Up: 117](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.kashmir.tarikh-i-rashidi~en-ross.117) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.kashmir.tarikh-i-rashidi~en-ross.117.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.kashmir.tarikh-i-rashidi~en-ross.117.1) · Pramāṇa
