Shams-i-Siraj states that when Firoz Tughlak used to go out for the chase, a big procession was formed. Forty to fifty special standards and two specially designed emblems, adorned with peacock feathers, were carried in front of the Sultan on both sides. Behind them were trained wild animals, e.g. cheetahs and lynxes, followed by hounds. Then followed the keepers of eagles and falcons on horse-back.
