I had prepared what was needed and followed the arrangements of the people of Hind. I bought a sarācha, which is an afrāj (enclosure); setting one up there is permitted, and it is indispensable for people of rank. The Sultan's sarācha is distinguished by being red, while the others are white, decorated with blue. I also bought the ṣīwān, which is what shades the inside of the sarācha; it is raised on two large poles, and men carry it on their shoulders, who are called the kaywāniyya. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [13.31.2](https://indike.org/pramana/inf.isl.ar.rihla.ibn-battuta.13.31.2) والعادة هنالك أن يكتري المسافر الكيوانية، وقد ذكرناهم، ويكتري من يسوق له العشب لعلف الدواب لأنهم لا يطعمونها التبن، ويكتري الكهارين وهم الذين يحملون أواني المطبخ، ويكتري من يحمله في الدولة، وقد ذكرناها، ويحملها فارغة، ويكتري الفراشين وهم الذين يضربون السراجة ويفرشونها ويرفعون الأحمال على الجمال، ويكتري الدوادوية وهم الذين يمشون بين يديه ويحملون المشاعل بالليل فاكتريت أنا جميع من احتجت له منهم، واظهرت القوة والهمة! وخرجت يوم خروج السلطان، وغيري أقام بعده اليومين والثلاثة. > The custom there is that the traveller hires the kaywāniyya, whom we have mentioned; he hires someone to bring him grass for fodder for the animals, since they do not feed them straw; he hires the kahārs, who carry the kitchen utensils; he hires men to carry him in the dawla, which we have mentioned, and to carry it empty; he hires the farrāshes, who set up the sarācha, furnish it, and load the baggage onto the camels; and he hires the dawādawiyya, who walk before him and carry torches at night. I hired all of these that I needed and displayed vigour and zeal! I set out on the day the Sultan set out, while others stayed behind him two or three days. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [13.31.3](https://indike.org/pramana/inf.isl.ar.rihla.ibn-battuta.13.31.3) فلما كان بعد العصر من يوم خروجه ركب الفيل، وقصده أن يتطلع على أحوال الناس > After the afternoon prayer on the day of his departure, he mounted the elephant, his purpose being to look into the state of the people > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [13.31.4](https://indike.org/pramana/inf.isl.ar.rihla.ibn-battuta.13.31.4) ويعرف من تسارع إلى الخروج ومن أبطأ! وجلس خارج السراجة على كرسي فجئت وسلمت ووقفت في موقفي بالميمنة، فبعث إلي الملك الكبير قبولة سرجامدار10» > and to learn who had hastened to set out and who had been slow! He sat outside the sarācha on a chair, and I came, greeted him, and stood in my place on the right. The great malik Qabūla, the sarjāmadār, sent to me > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [13.31.5](https://indike.org/pramana/inf.isl.ar.rihla.ibn-battuta.13.31.5) وهو الذي يشرد الذباب عنه، فأمرني بالجلوس عناية بي ولم يجلس في ذلك اليوم سواي ثم أتي بالفيل وألصق به سلم، فركب ورفع الشطر فوق رأسه، وركب معه الخواص وجال ساعة ثم عاد إلى السراجة. > —he is the one who drives the flies away from him—and ordered me to sit, as a mark of favour to me; no one but me sat that day. Then the elephant was brought and a ladder set against it; he mounted, the parasol was raised above his head, his intimates rode with him, and he rode about for a while and then returned to the sarācha. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ### [13.31.6](https://indike.org/pramana/inf.isl.ar.rihla.ibn-battuta.13.31.6) وعادته إذا ركب أن يركب الأمراء أفواجا، كل أمير بفوجه وعلاماته وطبوله وأنفاره وصرنا ياته، ويسمون ذلك المراتب، ولا يركب أمام السلطان إلا الحجاب وأهل الطرب والطبالة الذين يتقلدون الأطبال الصغار والذين يضربون الصرنايات، ويكون عن يمين السلطان نحو خمسة عشر رجلا، وعن يساره مثل ذلك، منهم قضاة القضاة والوزير وبعض الأمراء الكبار وبعض الأعزة، وكنت أنا من أهل ميمنته، ويكون بين يديه المشاؤون والأدلاء، ويكون خلفه علاماته وهي من الحرير المذهب، والأطبال على الجمال، وخلف ذلك مماليكه وأهل دخلته، وخلفهم الأمراء وجميع الناس، ولا يعلم أحد أين يكون النزول، فإذا مر السلطان بمكان يعجبه النزول به أمر بالنزول، ولا تضرب سراجة أحد حتى تضرب سراجته، ثم ياتي الموكلون بالنزول فينزلون كل أحد في منزله! وفي خلال ذلك ينزل السلطان على نهر أو بين أشجار، وتقدم بين يديه لحوم الأغنام والدجاج المسمنة والكراكي وغيرها من أنواع الصيد، ويحضر أبناء الملوك، وفي يد كل واحد منهم سفود، ويوقدون النار ويشتوون ذلك، ويوتي بسراجة صغيرة فتضرب للسلطان ويجلس من معه من الخواص خارجها، ويؤتى بالطعام ويستدعى من شاء فيأكل معه. وكان في بعض تلك الأيام، وهو بداخل السراجة، يسأل عمن بخارجها، فقال له السيد ناصر الدين مطهر الأوهري، أحد ندمائه: ثم فلان المغربي، وهو متغير! فقال: لماذا؟ فقال: بسبب الدين الذي عليه وغرماؤه يحلون في الطلب، وكان خوند عالم قد أمر الوزير باعطائه فسافر قبل ذلك، فإن أمر مولانا أن يصبر أهل الدين حتى يقدم الوزير أوامر بإنصافهم؟ وحضر لهذا الملك دولة شاه، وكان السلطان يخاطبه بالعم، فقال: ياخوند عالم! كل يوم هو يكلمني بالعربية ولا أدري ما يقول. يا سيدي ناصر الدين: ماذا؟ وقصد أن يكرر ذلك الكلام، فقال: يتكلم لأجل الدين الذي عليه، فقال السلطان: إذا دخلنا دار الملك فامض أنت يا أومار، ومعناه: يا عم إلى الخزانة فأعطه ذلك المال، وكان خذاوند زادة حاضرا فقال: ياخوند عالم، إنه كثير الإنفاق وقد رأيته ببلادنا عند السلطان طرمشيرين. > His custom when he rides out is that the amīrs ride in troops, each amīr with his troop, his banners, his drums, his trumpets and his ṣurnāys; they call this the marātib. No one rides in front of the Sultan except the chamberlains, the musicians, the drummers who carry small drums slung on them and those who play the ṣurnāys. On the Sultan's right are about fifteen men and on his left the same number, among them the chief qāḍīs, the vizier, some of the great amīrs and some of the aʿizza (honoured ones); I was among those on his right. Before him go the footmen and the guides, and behind him his banners, which are of gilded silk, and the drums on camels; behind these his mamlūks and the people of his household, and behind them the amīrs and all the people. No one knows where the halt will be; when the Sultan passes a place where he would like to halt, he orders a halt. No one's enclosure is pitched until his enclosure has been pitched; then those in charge of the halt come and assign each person to his quarters. Meanwhile the Sultan halts by a river or among trees, and there are set before him the meat of sheep, fattened chickens, cranes and other kinds of game. The sons of the kings come, each with a spit in his hand, light a fire and roast these. A small enclosure is brought and pitched for the Sultan, and the close companions with him sit outside it; the food is brought and he summons whomever he wishes to eat with him. On one of those days, while inside the enclosure, he asked who was outside it. Al-Sayyid Nāṣir al-Dīn Muṭahhar al-Awharī, one of his boon companions, said to him: "So-and-so the Maghribī is there, and he is troubled." He said: "Why?" He said: "Because of the debt he owes; his creditors are pressing for payment. Khwand ʿĀlam had ordered the vizier to give it to him, but he set out on his journey before that. Would our master order the creditors to wait until the vizier arrives, or order that they be paid?" Present at this was Malik Dawlat Shāh, whom the Sultan addressed as "uncle"; he said: "O Khwand ʿĀlam! Every day he speaks to me in Arabic and I do not know what he says. O my lord Nāṣir al-Dīn, what is it?" — wanting him to repeat those words. He said: "He is speaking about the debt he owes." The Sultan said: "When we enter the royal residence, you go, O ūmār" — meaning "O uncle" — "to the treasury and give him that money." Khudhāwandzāda was present and said: "O Khwand ʿĀlam, he spends a great deal; I saw him in our country at the court of Sultan Ṭarmashīrīn." > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) > Would not the Master of the World order the creditors to wait until the wazir returns or else give orders for their claims to be met ?” The “ king ” Dawlat-Shah, who was present, said “ O Master of the World, every day this man talks to us in Arabic, and I do not know what he is saying. Do you know, Nasir ad-Din ?” He said this so that Nasir ad-Din might repeat what he had said. Nasir ad-Din answered “ He talks about the debt which he has contracted.” The sultan said “ When we return to the capital, go yourself to the treasury and give him this money.” The treasurer was present and said “ O Master of the World, he is very extravagant. I have seen him before in our own land, at the court of Sultan Tarmashirin.” After this the sultan invited me to his meal, I being in total ignorance of what had taken place. As I went out Nasir ad-Din said “Thank the king Dawlat-Shah,” and Dawlat-Shah said to me “Thank the treasurer.” The day after our return, I went to the palace, and presented to the sultan two camels with richly embroidered saddles and harness, along with eleven plates of sweetmeats. He ordered the sweetmeats to be taken into his private apartments and on retiring to them sent for me. After we had eaten he asked me the names of the sweetmeats which he had particularly enjoyed, and thereafter we took betel and withdrew. > — H. A. R. Gibb 1929, Travels in Asia and Africa 1325–1354 ### [13.31.7](https://indike.org/pramana/inf.isl.ar.rihla.ibn-battuta.13.31.7) وبعد هذا الكلام استحضرني السلطان للطعام ولا علم عندي بما جرى، فلما خرجت قال لي السيد ناصر الدين: اشكر للملك دولة شاه، وقال لي الملك دولة شاه: أشكر لخذاوند زادة! وفي بعض تلك الأيام، ونحن مع السلطان في الصيد ركب في المحلة وكان طريقه على منزلي وأنا معه في الميمنة وأصحابي في الساقة، وكان لي خباء عند السراجة فوقف أصحابي عندها وسلموا على السلطان، فبعث عماد الملك وملك دولة شاه ليسألا: لمن تلك الأخبية والسراجة؟ فقيل لهما: لفلان، فأخبراه بذلك، فتبسم، فلما كان الغد نفذ الأمر أن أعود أنا وناصر الدين مطهر الأوهري وابن قاضي مصر وملك صبيح إلى البلد فخلع علينا وعدنا إلى الحضرة. > After this conversation the Sultan summoned me to the meal, and I had no knowledge of what had passed. When I came out, al-Sayyid Nāṣir al-Dīn said to me: "Thank Malik Dawlat Shāh," and Malik Dawlat Shāh said to me: "Thank Khudhāwandzāda!" On another of those days, when we were with the Sultan on the hunt, he rode through the camp and his way passed by my quarters. I was with him on the right wing and my companions were in the rearguard. I had a tent beside the enclosure, and my companions stood by it and greeted the Sultan. He sent ʿImād al-Mulk and Malik Dawlat Shāh to ask whose those tents and the enclosure were. They were told: "So-and-so's," and they informed him of it, and he smiled. The next day the order was issued that I, Nāṣir al-Dīn Muṭahhar al-Awharī, the son of the qāḍī of Miṣr and Malik Ṣabīḥ should return to the city; he bestowed robes of honour on us and we returned to the capital. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) ## Translations (2) - [Travels in Asia and Africa 1325–1354](https://indike.org/pramana/inf.isl.ar.rihla.ibn-battuta~en-gibb.6.6.4) — H.
