This present consisted of twenty-seven handsome, large, and powerful horses, each horse having two men to lead it by reins. Nine of these horses were decked out with precious stones, and saddles decorated with pearls. The others had housings of costly brocade reaching to their feet. There were eighteen large shaggy camels, taller than any in India or in Balkh, clothed in lovely coverings; sixty cases of perfect rose-water, and twenty cases of another water, distilled from a flower which is only found in Persia, and is called bedemus (bed-i-mushk); it is a very comforting water against all fevers caused by heat; twelve carpets, fifteen cubits in length and five in breadth, very handsome and finely worked; four cases filled with brocade lengths, very rich, figured with pleasing flowers, and very costly; also four damascened short-swords, four poignards covered with precious stones; also a sealed box of gold, full of manna from the mountains of Shiraz. Aurangzeb, with a lively expression on his face, spied out with curiosity all these presents of Shah 'Abbas, and, meanwhile, directed Muhammad Amin Khan to put some friendly questions to the ambassador; then, rising, he sent word to him that he might retire, and if he came to court again he would be most welcome.
