They also supplied us, in the most hospitable manner, with such meat and drink as they had to give. When they saw me, they all began to weep and cried, in their own language: "Thanks be \[to God\] that there still remains a prince of the dynasty that has ruled over us for four hundred years: we are your faithful and devoted servants." They then attached themselves, with their wives and families, to me. I was powerless to hinder them. At every place we came to, I was joined by all the men, women and children of the district. For the space of seven days they lavished every attention and honour upon us, brought us to the Pamir, and induced us to proceed to Badakhshán. (Sulaimán Sháh Mirzá, the son of Mirzá Khán, the son of my maternal aunt, has been mentioned in several places above. When I came to his \[abode\] he hastened out to receive me, showing me honour, by every means at his disposal.) We then offered up a thousand thanks to God Almighty, who had delivered us from such great dangers, and had brought us into safety ; \[verse\] . . . and from a land of Infidels to one of true Believers. \[Three couplets.\] . . .

I gave him some Turki verses, which I had composed, to deliver over to his master. . . . - [Previous: 239.6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.kashmir.tarikh-i-rashidi~en-ross.239.6) - [Next: 239.8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.kashmir.tarikh-i-rashidi~en-ross.239.8) - [Up: 239](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.kashmir.tarikh-i-rashidi~en-ross.239) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.kashmir.tarikh-i-rashidi~en-ross.239.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.kashmir.tarikh-i-rashidi~en-ross.239.7) · Pramāṇa
