Beveridge) 912.1.7 - **Language:** English ### [912.1.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.912.1.7) We reached Badī\`u'z-zamān Mīrzā's Audience-tent. It had been agreed that I, on entering, should bend the knee (\_yūkūnghāī\_) once, that the Mīrzā should rise and advance to the edge of the estrade,\[1182\] and that we should see one another there. I went in, bent the knee once, and was going right forward; the Mīrzā rose rather languidly and advanced rather slowly; Qāsim Beg, as he was my well-wisher and held my reputation as his own, gave my girdle a tug; I understood, moved more slowly, and so the meeting was on the appointed spot. Four divans (\_tūshuk\_) had been placed in the tent. Always in the Mīrzā's tents one side was like a gate-way\[1183\] and at the edge of this gate-way he always sat. A divan was set there now \[Sidenote: Fol. 186b.\] on which he and Muz̤affar Mīrzā sat together. Abū'l-muḥsin, Mīrzā and I sat on another, set in the right-hand place of honour (\_tūr\_). On another, to Badī\`u'z-zamān Mīrzā's left, sat Ibn-i-ḥusain Mīrzā with Qāsim Sl. \_Aūzbeg\_, a son-in-law of the late Mīrzā and father of Qāsim-i-ḥusain Sulṯān. To my right and below my divan was one on which sat Jahāngīr Mīrzā and \`Abdu'r-razzāq Mīrzā. To the left of Qāsim Sl. and Ibn-i-ḥusain Mīrzā, but a good deal lower, were Muḥ. Barandūq Beg, Ẕū'n-nūn Beg and Qāsim Beg. - [Previous: 912.1.6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.912.1.6) - [Next: 912.2.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.912.2.1) - [Up: 912.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.912.1) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.912.1.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.912.1.7) · Pramāṇa
