It was the end of the day when one of the savage denizens of those wilds, who are in their language called Bhīls, came to the camp and gave an indication of where the herd was. This man was a servant of Rājāh Jagman of Dhandhera. As the world-travers­ing cavalcade had not happened to pass through his territory, he had driven it away from there, and he had also arranged that, if by chance the camp should be in the neighbourhood, information should be given that Jagman had out of loyalty left huntsmen for the purpose of the sport. When the joyful news arrived, H.M. the Shāhīnshāh at once mounted and went off to that place. Nearly seventy elephants were seen in motion. Among them one mast elephant was remarkable for the beauty of his movements. Brave men proceeded to drive the animals from all sides. That ele­phant in his pride and mast condition paid no attention to them. The female elephants got separated from the herd and went to attack the beaters. Just then a female elephant ran and threw Muḥammad ālib, the elder brother of S'aīd Badakhshī from his horse. Then it proceeded to trample him. The spectators felt certain that his bones would be reduced to powder. Meanwhile, the elephant saw that the horsemen were approaching, and taking the man in her mouth and trunk ran off. When the horsemen got nearer to her she flung him off and ran away still faster. As soon as he was flung down he got up and ran, to the astonishment of those who saw it. But when we consider the marvels of Divine power, there is no room for astonish­ment. In short, H.M.'s sublime genius engaged itself in capturing the aforesaid elephant. He gave an order that a war elephant should be brought from among the special elephants and made to fight with him. The elephant Bhirūn, which was equal to that ele­phant, was brought and set to fight with the other. A great contest ensued. After Bhīrūn had made great exertions he turned tail, and they had great difficulty in keeping the wild elephant off him. At this time an excellent idea occurred to the inspired mind whereby the hunting of elephants might be easily accomplished. This* was, that whenever the herd of elephants showed themselves, active horse­men should surround them at a distance, so that the elephants should not see them. By beating of drums they gave (the elephants) to understand that there were a number of people behind them (the elephants?). Two elephants were associated together and were ridden in such a way that the riders should not be seen. They were taken to a place that had been selected and there bound. Meanwhile the wild elephants were driven very slowly forward till at length on account of the imitativeness which is part of beasts' nature, the herd went towards the two elephants. They came there of themselves and were then tied up. It was a source of great joy when this excellent plan, which, till now, had never entered the head of any prince, was imagined by the holy mind. An order was issued that the troops should advance on all sides, and that having taken the wild elephant already mentioned along with the rest of the herd, they should pro­ceed towards the camp. The officers obeyed the order and tucked up the skirt of service. When they arrived at the fort of Sīprī they drove the herd inside. When the whole herd together with the great elephant had entered the fort, the latter again showed violence. H.M., in order to chastise him, had the elephant Khāndī Rai, which was a match for him, brought up and put face to face with the wild ele­phant. These two moving mountains had a great fight, and contended together for one watch of the day. Khāndī Rai nearly broke the pride of the wild elephant, but on a sign from H.M. to the atten­dants, Khāndī Rai was withdrawn. The wild elephant, by mighty blows, broke the stone wall of the fort and went off into the wilds. H.M. sent Yūsuf Khān, the elder brother of M. 'Azīz Koka with a number of men to capture the elephant, which was now wearied. Meanwhile, he personally attended to the fastening-up of the herd. Strong elephant-drivers brought in the wild elephants on every side. An order was given that the elephant Ran* Bhīrūn, who was a power­ful animal, and distinguished among the special elephants, should be brought and made to head the elephant aforesaid. Again these two mountain-forms contended together. As the wild elephant had fought a great deal, he was nearly being overcome. The drivers brought him to the foot of a large tree, and bound him with strong ropes. Slowly he grew tame, and was gradually included among the special elephants. He received the name of Gajpatī. When H.M. had sufficiently gratified himself with hunting, he went on all the faster towards the capital. The route taken was by Narwar and Gwālīār. And when the grandees of Agra heard the sound of the approach of the army, which is the voice of the organ of joy, they all came to welcome it, and did homage. They attained temporal and spiri­tual felicity by the favouring glances of H.M. the Shāhinshāh. H.M. arrived at the capital on the day of Zamīyād 28 Mihr, Divine month, corresponding to Tuesday, 3 Rabi-al-awwal, 9th October, 1564.

One of the occurrences, which occurred during this happy time, was the birth of twins. Two priceless jewels appeared from one matrix, two world-lighting stars emerged by one ascension, two (pairs of) glorious eyes received brightness, two (sets of) earrings were exalted, two precious necklaces shone, two powerful arms came into being, two wrists of success appeared, two beauteous eyebrows came into being, two ears of joy were opened. That is, two twin-princes were born. The worlds expanded with joy, and the parterres of flowers smiled. The carpet of joy was spread from shore to shore and happiness was proclaimed to mankind. The sound of the drum of rejoicing was heard throughout the nine heavens, and the strains of the organ of felicity resounded over the six sides of the world.
