Mahmood, on the following day, (Oct. 23, 1722, ) sent some splendid horses for the Shah to ride, who hastened, accompanied with a few troops, to the con- queror. The latter awaited his arrival in the central hall in the palace at Farhabad, and ordered a cushion to be prepared for the fallen monarch, whilst he refused one for himself, and held a consultation with his officers. They considered that some one ought to be sent out to meet the Shah, as a mark of politeness due to Mahmood's father-in-...law 7 and the former sovereign of the Afghans ; but that leader would not condescend to go to receive Hoossein, but only waited stand- ing to receive him, whilst he sent some persons to pay him attention. The Shah arriving, saluted and embraced him, kissed his hands and eyes, and drawing a diadem from his bosom placed it on his head, and prefacing his speech with the verse, * " Oh God ! the possessor of kingdoms, " and similar terms, said, " The eternal Providence, my lord, has taken the throne from me and deemed you worthy of it;" and at the same tune wished that he might be happy and prosper- ous.
