When day dawned, he repeated his prayers to the Great Disposer of all things, and stretching forth the hand of supplication, said, "O God! if the government of Hindustan is destined to be given to me and mine, let these productions of Hind be brought presently before me, betel-leaves and mangoes, and I shall accept them as an omen." It so happened that when the mango season was approaching, Daulat Khan had sent half-ripe mangoes preserved in pots of honey, and betel-leaves, by the hand of Ahmad Khan. The King was told that Ahmad Khan, the ambassador of Daulat Khan, desired an audience. Dilawar took the offerings into the royal presence, and displayed them. When Babar's eyes fell on the fruit, he arose from his throne, and prostrated himself before the Almighty, who, he was persuaded, of His boundless generosity, had granted him the sovereignty of Hind. He gave a horse and khil'at to both Dilawar Khan and Ahmad Khan, and entrusted to them ten 'Iraki horses, and some pieces of fine linen for Daulat Khan; and then directed Ahmad Khan to precede him with these articles. - [Previous: 3.4.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tarikh-i-salatin-i-afaghina~en-elliot.3.4.1) - [Next: 3.4.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tarikh-i-salatin-i-afaghina~en-elliot.3.4.3) - [Up: 3.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tarikh-i-salatin-i-afaghina~en-elliot.3.4) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tarikh-i-salatin-i-afaghina~en-elliot.3.4.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tarikh-i-salatin-i-afaghina~en-elliot.3.4.2) · Pramāṇa
