تحفة النظار في غرايب الامصار وعجايب الاسفار 13.28.10

13.28.10

ولما كان بالغد بعث عنا فقبضنا الأموال والخيل والخلع وأخذ كل واحد منا البدرة بالمال فجعلها على كاهله، ودخلنا كذلك على السلطان فخدمنا، وأتينا بالأفراس فقبلنا حوافرها بعد أن جعلت عليها الخرق، وقدناها بأنفسنا إلى باب دار السلطان فركبناها، وذلك كله عادة عندهم ثم انصرفنا وأمر السلطان لأصحابي بألفي دينار وعشر خلع ولم يعط

Another of his Emirs, namely Halajun, also revolted, and sallied out of Dehli with a large army. The Viceroy in the district of Telingana also rebelled, and made an effort to obtain the kingdom; and very nearly succeeded, on account of the great number who were then in rebellion, and the weakness of the army of the Emperor; for a pestilence had carried off the greater part. From his extreme good fortune, however, he got the victory, collected his scattered troops, and subdued the rebellious Emirs, killing some, torturing others, and pardoning the rest. He then returned to his residence, repaired his affairs, strengthened his empire, and took vengeance on his enemies. — But let me now return to the account of my own affairs with him. When he had appointed me to the office of Judge of Dehli, had made the necessary arrangements, and given me the presents already mentioned, the horses prepared for me, and for the other Emirs who were about his person, were sent to each of us, who severally kissed the hoof of the horse of him who brought them, and then led our own to the gate of the palace ; we then entered, and each put on a dress of honour ; after which we came out, mounted, and returned to our houses.
