You must do so.” So I got up on his shoulders and he said to me “Say God is sufficient for us and an excellent guardian.” I repeated this over and over again, but I could not keep my eyes open, and regained consciousness only on feeling myself falling to the ground. Then I woke up, but found no trace of the man, and lo! I was in an inhabited village. I entered it and found it was a village of Hindu peasants with a Muslim governor. They informed him about me and he came to meet me. I asked him the name of this village and he replied “Taj Biira.” The distance from there to Koel, where our party was, is two farsakhs. The governor provided a horse to take me to his house and gave me hot food, and I washed. Then he said to me: “I have here a garment and a turban which were left in my charge by a certain Arab from Egypt, one of the soldiers belonging to the corps at Koel.” I said to him “Bring them; I shall wear them until I reach camp.” When he brought them I found that they were two of my own garments which I had given to that very Arab when we came to Koel. > — H.
