We set out from 'Azimabad together, and passing by Benares, Allahabad and Farrukhabad, we arrived at the royal city of Shah-Jahanabad on the 10th of the month Jumada-s sani, in the year 1156 a.h., and rested from the troubles of wandering in the jungles and measuring the desert. The governors of provinces and the officers of police in Hindustan were not in any way wanting in the hospitality and politeness, kindness and attention, that they showed to the Nawáb Hakim 'Alawi Khán, on account of his great natural talents, learning, and great fame, in which they followed the example of the magistrates and rulers of the Kings of I'rán, Rúm, Arabia, and Yaman, and they exerted themselves to the utmost to please him. - [Previous: 2.6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.later.bayan-i-waqi~en-elliot.2.6) - [Next: 2.8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.later.bayan-i-waqi~en-elliot.2.8) - [Up: 2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.later.bayan-i-waqi~en-elliot.2) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.later.bayan-i-waqi~en-elliot.2.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.later.bayan-i-waqi~en-elliot.2.7) · Pramāṇa
