337.2.5

But as he had performed an acceptable service, namely, the seizing and making over of M. Kamran, who was the source of so much strife and trouble, he was regarded with favour, and his petitions were continually coming to the sublime Court. At this time, when the earth obtained celestial splendour by the light (far) of H.M. the Shahinshah’s throne, and Fortune was performing its vocation, viz., to drag every chief and leader by the hair to do homage to the sublime Court, and to exalt them by eternal auspiciousness, a desire to kiss the threshold seized the collar of this fortunate one. But from his natural savagery he begged that when he should be exalted by service, he should not be taken to India along with the sublime cortége, and that he should not by marks of favour, be made an exile from his own country. He also begged that one of the confidential servants should seize him and carry him off to the sublime Court. The Shahinshah’s graciousness ordered that his good services should be requited, and granted to the full all his requests. Taimur Khan Jalair was chosen for this service and directed to conciliate him and to bring him to do homage. And he received more favours that had entered into the mind of his wishes.
