My Elder Khān dādā also had come out for the meeting, some 3 or 4 \_yīghāch\_ (12 to 15 m.) along the road. He had had an awning set up in a chosen spot and was seated there. The Younger Khān went up directly in front of him; on getting near, fetched a circle, from right to left, round him; then dismounted before him. After advancing to the place of interview (\_kūrūshūr yīr\_), he nine times bent the knee; that done, went close and saw (his brother). The Elder Khān, in his turn, had risen when the Younger Khān drew near. They looked long at one another (\_kūrūshtīlār\_) and long stood in close embrace (\_qūchūshūb\_). The Younger Khān again bent the knee nine times when retiring, many times also on offering his gift; after that, he went and sat down. - [Previous: 908.1.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.908.1.4) - [Next: 908.1.6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.908.1.6) - [Up: 908.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.908.1) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.908.1.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.908.1.5) · Pramāṇa
