v1.c9.s40.3

In the *Ahwal-ul-khawaqin* is a passage describing the early intimacy between Farrukh-siyar and Khan Dauran (Khwaja Asim), where we are told that the Prince was passionately fond of wrestling, archery, horsemanship, polo-playing, and other soldierly exercises. His devotion to hunting and the chase is shown by the regularity with which, throughout his reign, he left Dihli to hunt or shoot in the imperial preserves situated at various distances round the city. [Ahwal 49b.]
