13.23.5

Then the chamberlain and his companions took casks of rosewater and poured it over the people, then went round among them with cups of sugar-syrup, then distributed betel to them. Then eleven robes of honour were brought for me and my companions. Then the chamberlain rode, and we rode with him to the Sultan's palace, where we made obeisance to the throne according to custom, and I went back to my house. I had hardly arrived when food came from the palace of al-Makhdūma Jahān, enough to fill my house and the houses of my companions; they all ate, the poor ate, and there were loaves, sweetmeats and sugar-candy left over, whose remains lasted for days. All of this was done by order of the Sultan.
