When, in accordance with that command, they conducted me to the presence of Tuli, he looked at me searchingly, and gave orders to them, saying: 'See whether he has received any hurt;' and, as there was none, he said to me: 'What person art thou—of the race of Adam, or a pari, a demon, or an angel, or dost thou hold a charm bearing the names of the Ulugh Tingri? Speak truly, how it is.' I bowed my face to the ground and replied: 'I am an unfortunate man of the learned class, and one of those who blesses or prays; but I had one thing with me.' He said: 'What hadst thou with thee?' I bowed my head to the ground, and replied: 'The sight of a sovereign like thee had fallen upon me, and through the felicity thereof, I remained in safety.' This reply was favourably received by Tuli, and he looked upon me with favourable eyes, and remarked, saying: 'This person is a sagacious man, and a wise, and may be qualified for the service of the Chingiz Khan. It is necessary that ye take care of him in order that he may be conducted to his presence;' and he commanded so that they made me over to the care of one of the respected Mughals. - [Previous: 264.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.264.2) - [Next: 264.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.264.4) - [Up: 264](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.264) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.264.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.264.3) · Pramāṇa
