And behold, up came Janshah's mother, attended by all the wives of the Wazirs and Emirs and nobles and city notables.
And when his bidding was done, King Teghmus bade beat the drums and despatched messengers to announce the glad news to Janshah's mother, informing her of his approach; whereupon she mounted in great joy and she no sooner espied her son than she clasped him in her arms and swooned away for stress of gladness.
Answered the second, 'O sister, since the days of King Solomon none hath entered the pavilion, be he man or Jann; and the youngest added, laughing, 'By Allah, O my sisters, if there be any hidden there, he will assuredly take none but me. Then they continued sporting and laughing and Janshah's heart kept fluttering for stress of passion: but he hid behind the tree so that he saw without being seen.
As for Janshah's mother, when she heard of his loss she buffeted her face and began the mourning ceremonies for her son making sure that he was dead. Meanwhile, Janshah and his men ceased not driving before the wind and those in search of them cruised about for ten days till, finding no trace they returned and reported failure to the King.
'The house, sweet heart, is now no home to me * Since thou art gone, nor neighbour neighbourly, The friend whilom I took to heart, no more * Is friend, and brightest lights lose brilliancy. But when Bulukiya heard out Janshah's tale he marvelled," And Shahrazad perceived the dawn of day and ceased saying her permitted say. When it was the Five Hundred and Thirty-first Night,
The minister replied, 'I hear and obey, and forthright did his bidding and said to them, 'Take this in turn for the good tidings ye bring, whether ye lie or say sooth. They replied, 'Indeed we lie not, for but now we sat with him and saluted him and kissed his hands and he bade us fetch him tents, for that he would sojourn in the meadow seven days, till such time as the Wazirs and Emirs and Grandees should come out to meet him. Quoth the King, 'How is it with my son? and quoth they, 'He hath with him a Houri, as he had brought her out of Paradise. At this, King Teghmus bade beat the kettledrums and sound the trumpets for gladness, and despatched messengers to announce the good news to Janshah's mother and to the wives of the Emirs and Wazirs and Lords of the realm: so the criers spread themselves about the city and acquainted the people with the coming of Prince Janshah.
I am dying of love and longing. Quoth Shaykh Nasr, 'Take patience until the coming of the birds, when we will enquire at them of Takni, the Castle of Jewels; haply one of them shall wot thereof. So Janshah's heart was comforted and, entering the Palace, he went straight to the chamber which gave upon the Lake in which he had seen the three maidens.
Presently, Janshah, seeing that the Ghuls were getting the better of the apes, cried out to his men, saying, 'Unease your bows and arrows and shoot at them your best shafts and keep them off from us. They did so and slew of the Ghuls much people, when there fell upon them sore dismay and they turned to flee; but the apes, seeing Janshah's prowess, forded the river and headed by their Sultan chased the Ghuls, killing many of them in the pursuit, till they reached the high mountain where they disappeared.
She said, It hath reached me, O auspicious King, that "when Bulukiya heard out Janshah's tale he wondered and exclaimed, 'By Allah, methought I had indeed wandered over the world and compassed it about; but now I forget all I have seen after listening to these adventures of thine! He was silent a while and then resumed, 'I beg thee, of thy favour and courtesy, to direct me in the way of safety. So Janshah directed him into the right road, and Bulukiya farewelled him and went his ways."
