Accordingly, when Mahomed Khan and Tursoon Beg arrived in Dehly, instead of being admitted to an audience, they were seized and imprisoned, as has been related. This breach between the King and Beiram Khan is related, with other particulars, by Abool Fuzl. "One day," says that historian, "while the King was at Agra, one of his elephants being must, attacked and killed another of Beiram Khan's, who, on the spur of the moment, commanded the keeper of the royal elephant to be put to death, without first speaking to the King. Akbur was highly incensed, the more so, on finding that the man was not to blame, having lost all command over the animal. Soon after this," continues Abool Fuzl, "while Beiram Khan was taking his pleasure in a barge on the river, one of the elephants which had been carried down to the water, ran furiously against the boat, and had nearly sunk it, but for the great efforts of his driver. The minister, naturally suspicious, imagined these accidents were actually plots against his life; and he required the King to punish the driver. - [Previous: 63.3.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.63.3.7) - [Next: 63.3.9](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.63.3.9) - [Up: 63.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.63.3) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.63.3.8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.63.3.8) · Pramāṇa
