[34] The Emperor, his mother, and ladies of the Harem sat at the Lahori gate of the Fort, enjoyed the scene of illumination, and before midnight retired to their apartments.

Once a week Roshan-ud-Daula held the Majlis-i-Sama to which he invited a large number of mystics, saints, 'Ulama and pious persons of the city.

In a state of ecstasy he tore up his golden clothes and distributed the pieces among the singers, besides offering gold and silver coins to them.
