Rafiuddin Shirazi who came from Persia writes that, 'I was standing in a tent-enclosure amidst a crowd (in Agra), when all of a sudden the cry of 'God save the King' went up. I realised that the king had arrived. I saw that a youth of twenty years was leaning on a favourite, I guessed that he must be the king. But the people performed no courtesies or salutations to him. I was greatly surprised and asked whether there is no tradition of paying respects to the king. They replied that the etiquette for courtiers is much more elaborate, but the king himself is most informal. He makes no distinction between companions and strangers.' About which of the following rulers, is Shirazi thus writing?
