Hunting as he went along, the Sultan reached the territory of Rae Bhanu Diw \[Shams-i-Saraj, Bir-bhan Diw — Alfi, Pir-mahi Diw — perhaps Bir-Mahi\], who sent him some elephants. He then returned from thence with the object of hunting, came to Padmawati — South Bihar probably — which is a part abounding with elephants, captured thirty-three, and killed two which could not be secured. The Tabakat-i-Akbari, Firishtah, and Buda’uni, quote a verse composed on the occasion by Malik Ziya-ud-Din, thus showing to what extent the two latter — particularly Firishtah — copied from the former; but Firishtah appears somewhat confused in the latter part of his account, or has made considerable verbal alterations for some purpose; whilst Buda’uni \[MS.\] says the Sultan left Barani \[Banarsi?\], and proceeded from thence to Badwati \[Padmawati\] and Bram-Tala to hunt elephants. From Padmawati Sultan Firuz Shah returned to Karah in Rajab, 762 H. - [Previous: 190.2.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.190.2.3) - [Next: 190.2.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.190.2.5) - [Up: 190.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.190.2) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.190.2.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.190.2.4) · Pramāṇa
