The gulab-pash is a silver or gold utensil, like a French bottle, to sprinkle rose water on the company; the 'itr-dan one to hold essences, and pik-duns are of brass or silver to spit in, called by the French crachoirs. The abdar-khana a room appropriated to the cooling of water in ice or saltpetre, by the servant called the abdar. Small leaden mugs with covers for the congelation of ice.

In the kitchen the pots continued jingling; and in the abdar-khana there was a corresponding preparation; jars of water, quite new, stood on silver stands, with percolators attached, and covered with lids. Further on, on a platform, were placed spoons and cups, with salvers and covers; kulfis of ice were arranged, and the goglets were being agitated in saltpetre.
