At the hour of bidding farewell, they embraced once more) and exchanged the clothes they were wearing and the horses they were riding. They finally separated in the most friendly manner, and each went back to his own army. When Mansur Khan returned to his own ranks, he called for me and explained all the particulars of the interview, as I have given them above. Thus conversing, he accompanied me from his troops to the camp. He said: "The thirst of longing and the hunger of absence cannot be satisfied with this small quantity of the wine of union." \[Verses\] .... He continued to speak in such terms until we arrived at the camp, which we did at about the middle of the first watch of the night. At sunrise Mansur Khan sent for me, and loaded me with favours and distinctions becoming his own greatness. He then permitted me to return, and having travelled all night, I reached the Khan \[on the following day\]. The Khan told me what Mansur Khan had said, and showed marks of regret at separation from him. The result of this peace was that soldiers and civilians—in fact, every individual—enjoyed full repose and freedom from anxiety, and testified their thankfulness to the two Khans. Ingenious scholars devised many chronograms to commemorate this happy event. Among others, the date was found to be contained in "Du lashkar ba nishát"—Two armies in gladness—922 \[1516\].
