STORY II
One of the Kings of Khorâsân had a vision in a dream of Sultân Mahmûd, one hundred years after his death. His whole person appeared to have been dissolved and turned to dust, except his eyes, which were revolving in their orbits and looking about. All the sages were unable to give an interpretation, except a Dervish, who made his salutation and said: “He is still looking amazed how his kingdom belongs to others.”
