v2.c27.s15.t2.6

“So long as the Shāhān-shāh was on his horse all these [his high officers] stood on foot around him...When he sat down in his tent, they too went in and used to make their speeches standing. Only Hafiz Rahmat Khan was often ordered to sit down at the time of dawn, which was not the time of holding Court, on the ground of his having memorized the *Qurān*.” [Nur-ud-din, 40b.]
