A party of Amirs at the capital \[Dihli\], through the noising abroad of Muhammad-i-Bakht-yar’s praises, and, at beholding the honour he received, and the gifts bestowed upon him by Sultan Kutb-ud-Din, became envious of Muhammad-i-Bakht-yar, and, at a convivial banquet, they treated him in a reproachful and supercilious manner, and were deriding him and uttering inuendoes; and matters reached such a pitch that he was directed to combat with an elephant at the Kasr-i-Safed \[White Castle\]. With one blow, which he dealt the elephant on the trunk with his mace, the elephant fled discomfited. When Muhammad-i-Bakht-yar gained that distinction, Sultan Kutb-ud-Din ordered him a rich robe of honour from his own special wardrobe, and conferred considerable presents upon him. The Sultan \[likewise\] commanded the Amirs to make him presents, and he received such a number of gifts as could not be contained within the limits of writing. Muhammad-i-Bakht-yar moreover, in that same assembly, dispersed the whole of those presents and bestowed them upon the people; and, with the special imperial honorary robe, he departed, and set out towards Bihar. - [Previous: 187.1.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.187.1.4) - [Next: 187.1.6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.187.1.6) - [Up: 187.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.187.1) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.187.1.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.187.1.5) · Pramāṇa
