A quarter of the day passed in rejoicings. A hundred and one pieces of cloth, within which were precious objects from foreign countries, and several trays of jewels, offered by the Shah, were accepted by the royal visitor, who then took his departure. All the nobles in the regal suite, to the number of nearly one hundred, received presents suited to their rank. This festival was not without its object, for the Shah had resolved to return to his own dominions. This was as yet secret, but on the 6th of Safar the Mulla-bashi, standing at the door of his august master's residence, with a loud voice made the following proclamation:— "Soldiers, the King of Kings and Lord of beneficence, our master, the protector of the world, conquered the country of Hindustan and restored it. To-morrow our victorious banners move towards 'Irak. Be you prepared!" - [Previous: 5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.later.tadhkirah-i-anand-ram-mukhlis~en-elliot.5) - [Next: 6.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.later.tadhkirah-i-anand-ram-mukhlis~en-elliot.6.2) - [Up: 6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.later.tadhkirah-i-anand-ram-mukhlis~en-elliot.6) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.later.tadhkirah-i-anand-ram-mukhlis~en-elliot.6.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.later.tadhkirah-i-anand-ram-mukhlis~en-elliot.6.1) · Pramāṇa
