While the gifts were being brought and before food, fierce camels and fierce elephants[2387] were set to fight on an island opposite,[2388] so too a few rams; thereafter wrestlers grappled. After the chief of the food had been set out, Khwāja `Abdu'sh-shahīd and Khwāja Kalān were made to put on surtouts (_jabbah_) of fine muslin,[2389] spotted with gold-embroidery, and suitable dresses of honour, and those headed by Mullā Farrūkh and _Ḥāfiẕ_[2390] had jackets put on them. On Kūchūm Khān's envoy[2391] and on Ḥasan _Chalabi's_ younger brother[2392] were bestowed silken head-wear (_bāshlīq_) and gold-embroidered surtouts of fine muslin, with suitable dresses of honour. Gold-embroidered jackets and silk coats were presented to the envoys of Abū-sa`īd Sl. (_Aūzbeg_), of Mihr-bān Khānīm and her son Pulād Sl., and of Shāh Ḥasan [Sidenote: Fol. 352b.] (_Arghūn_). The two Khwājas and the two chief envoys, that is to say Kūchūm Khān's retainer and Ḥasan _Chalabī's_ younger brother, were presented with a silver stone's weight of gold and a gold stone's weight of silver.
