The Áín i Akbari (Blochmann, Jarrett) 221 - **Language:** English ### [221](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.admin.ain-i-akbari~en-blochmann-jarrett.221) At first I intended, in speaking of the Grandees of the Court, to record the deeds which raised them to their exalted positions, to describe their qualities, and to say something of their experience. But I am unwilling to bestow mere praise; in fact, it does not become the encomiast of His Majesty to praise others, and I should act against my sense of truthfulness, were I but to mention that which is praiseworthy, and to pass in silence over that which cannot be approved of. I shall therefore merely record, in form of a table, their names and the titles which have been conferred upon them. - [Previous: 220.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.admin.ain-i-akbari~en-blochmann-jarrett.220.5) - [Next: 222](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.admin.ain-i-akbari~en-blochmann-jarrett.222) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.admin.ain-i-akbari~en-blochmann-jarrett.221](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.admin.ain-i-akbari~en-blochmann-jarrett.221) · Pramāṇa
