The assistants received dresses of silver brocade. Thus altered, they were conducted again before the Emperor and there made four bows, bending the body down, touching the ground with the right hand, and each time on rising bringing the hand up to the forehead. They were then taken close up to the silver railings, but just at that moment the Emperor rose and left accompanied by his two sons Jahandar Shah and Jahan Shah, who had been seated on his right hand on a somewhat lower level. Everybody then retired and the crowd was so great that there was a risk of being crushed. Outside the kanats they returned to their palkis, and reached home at nine o'clock at night.
