⁴ Compare Q.S., 63; for this emblem. Minhaj Siraj mentions the gift of ‘the morning fish’ (*Mahi-i-Subhi*) from the Sultan to the author (*vide* Raverty, 1294). The author of the *Masalik-ul-absar* was informed that the royal emblem was ‘a golden dragon’ (*vide* Notices, 188). I adhere to the version of Amir Khusrau in holding to the opinion that it was the emblem of the fish and the crescent.
