Aziz Birdi Agha, standing at the head of the passage \[between the lines\], told off exactly thirty persons. From the side of Mansur Khdn, Sahib Daulat Begum, sister of Mir Jabar Birdi, and Mahim Khanim, sister of Mansur Khan, were given as hostages. The Khan advanced from the other side, accompanied also by thirty persons. At the meeting-place between the armies, awnings were erected. \[Couplet\] .... Mansur, advancing first, went and seated himself upon a throne under the shade of the awnings. \[Couplet\] .... Then the Khan came, and dismounted at a respectful distance. \[Couplet\] .... When he had approached within the distance assigned by the Moghul custom, he fell on his knees. Although Mansur Khan was the elder brother, he got up, advanced towards the Khan, and embraced him affectionately \[couplet\] . . . .; then taking him by the hand, he walked towards the throne. When Mansur Khan was seated on the throne, the Khdn rose up and returned to the place where he had first made his obeisance. \[Two couplets\] .... He then offered him such presents as became the dignity of both; while Mir Jabar Birdi, in presenting the gifts to Mansur, made an eloquent speech, as is the custom of those who observe the Tura. Mansur Khan was pleased with his words, and accepted all the gifts. - [Previous: 175.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.kashmir.tarikh-i-rashidi~en-ross.175.2) - [Next: 175.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.kashmir.tarikh-i-rashidi~en-ross.175.4) - [Up: 175](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.kashmir.tarikh-i-rashidi~en-ross.175) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.kashmir.tarikh-i-rashidi~en-ross.175.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.kashmir.tarikh-i-rashidi~en-ross.175.3) · Pramāṇa
