In the colophon the work is styled كتاب ترجمۀ طوطى نامه, as if this redaction was a retranslation into Persian from some other version, a supposition, however, which is at variance with the few introductory lines on fol. 16^b, where it is expressly stated, that this is the عبارت سليس, the plain version, of Muḥammad Khud&acirc;banda Ḳ&acirc;dir&icirc;.</p> <p>Beginning: پس از ثنا و صفت خداوند آسمان و زمين حقيقت اين است چون داستان گفتۀ حضرت نخشبى.</p> <p>Copied A.H. 1217 (A.D. 1802, 1803) at Seringapatam.
