The Sultan had sent them to receive Khudhāwandzāda, and with them came three eunuchs sent by al-Makhdūma Jahān, the Sultan's mother, to receive the wife of the said Khudhāwandzāda. They brought robes of honour for the two of them and their children, and provisions to equip the delegations that had arrived. They all came to me and asked me, "Why have you come?" I told them that I had come to stay in the service of Khwand ʿĀlam — that is the Sultan, and this is what he is called in his country. - [Previous: 10.8.1](https://indike.org/pramana/inf.isl.ar.rihla.ibn-battuta~en-mt.10.8.1) - [Next: 10.8.3](https://indike.org/pramana/inf.isl.ar.rihla.ibn-battuta~en-mt.10.8.3) - [Up: 10.8](https://indike.org/pramana/inf.isl.ar.rihla.ibn-battuta~en-mt.10.8) ## Linked texts (1) - [تحفة النظار في غرائب الأمصار وعجائب الأسفار](https://indike.org/pramana/inf.isl.ar.rihla.ibn-battuta.10.8.2) — Ibn Baṭṭūṭa, Arabic --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/inf.isl.ar.rihla.ibn-battuta~en-mt.10.8.2](https://indike.org/pramana/inf.isl.ar.rihla.ibn-battuta~en-mt.10.8.2) · Pramāṇa
