v2.c31.16

From the backs of the elephants handfuls of gold and silver coins were incessantly flung among the crowd right and left, as the procession moved on. In this order the Imperial cortege wended its way through the Bazar of Old Delhi and entered the Fort by the Lahore Gate.

The nobles laid before him large sums to be given away in charity for averting evil from him. Finally, he retired to the harem.
