∗ "Alamgir II issued from Delhi mounted on a *takht-i-rawān*, with a cloth awning over it, one elephant and one horse carrying his kettle-drums." That was what the full pomp of the 'king of kings' had now shrunk to. Abdali welcomed the Padishah by advancing a few steps, seated him on his own carpet, and then the two exchanged turbans [in sign of brotherhood] and presented robes to each other. [*TALS.* 96, *DC.*]
