They accompany the king to the end of the camp in which they had halted for that day, then each departs to his proper place in his own division. Then the king joins the huntsmen, and announces whether he intends to go hunting or not. When he so wishes he leaves the army, and is followed by only the men on foot and the soldiers of his guard. Everybody else continues the march very slowly. If he does not wish to hunt, the huntsmen move to their previously appointed places. When the advance tents come into sight, the musicians commence anew to play their instruments until the king has passed through the gateway of the tents. Then the small artillery is discharged, while the queens and ladies offer to the king congratulations on arrival, saying, 'Manzel mobarec' (Manzil mubdrak), which means 'Happy be the journey.' - [Previous: 97.2.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.97.2.7) - [Next: 97.2.9](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.97.2.9) - [Up: 97.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.97.2) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.97.2.8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.97.2.8) · Pramāṇa
