 ^by order of Said Kha'n, to invite AbdalKader, to sLirrGn4er;andfor the 

 purpose, of: seducing him, carried with me a great variety of -'the most 

 delicate kinds .oi , vidluals : and .liquors." .One day, an aged' Afghan, 

 after tasting some sweet-meats, got on his legs, and said,A''irtO Abd'al 

 Ka'der ! from the time of your honoured predecessors, till the present, the 

 foot of the Moghul has never advanced thys far. , This person w)ip is 

 now come, wishes to deceive you, with garmepts of sc^^arlct and yellow, and 

 yi6luals which are pleasant and sweet ; which are coyeted by those who 

 make themselves slaves of tlieir belly, but which are abhorrent to therule^ 

 of the Dervesh. I therefore advise, that we put him_ to death, §o that r\p 

 Other may afterwards come here, for dread," But A?.dal Ka der and his 

 mother BiBi ,Ala'i, the daughter of Miya'n JpLAL-EDrDi.N, would not 

 consent to this proposition. The day that Abdal Ka der visited .the camp 

 of SaYd Kha'n, his horse was frightened at the noise of the drums and 

 trumpets, and rushed fr^m amid tliet gnoWd;- to 42iWB.iide. An iAf^han
