The History of Shāhjahān (ʿInāyat Khān) 33: Mir Jumla's coming to wait upon the Prince Muhammad Aurangzeb Bahadur.

33

At this time, the news of Mir Jumla's arrival in the vicinity of Golkonda was made known; so the Prince forwarded to him the farmán and khil'at that had come for him from Court, by the hands of the bearer of it. The latter having been apprised of the fact, came out to meet the messenger, from his camp, which was pitched four kos the other side of the Husain Ságar lake, and after observing the usual marks of respect, received the farmán and khil'at from him on the banks of the above-named lake. As two days were wanting to the time fixed for his introduction to the victorious Prince, he returned for the present to his own camp. On the appointed day, the Prince sent out some nobles to fetch him, and he having set out with great pomp and splendour, enjoyed at a chosen moment the honour of paying his respects, and presented 3,000 Ibráhímís as nisár. That descendant of nobles was recompensed from the munificent threshold by the receipt of a superb dress of honour, a jewelled tarrah and dagger, two horses, one with a gold, the other with a silver saddle, and an elephant with silver housings, accompanied by a female one; and obtained permission to be seated in the presence. As peace had now been established on a firm basis, the fortunate and successful Prince evacuated the trenches encircling the fortress, on the last day of the aforesaid month, and summoned the party engaged in the siege to his presence.
