What a blessing it was that came to my “ bosom and what a fortune was received within my breast. “ Though externally, I was strongly made for the service of that “ sublimely-born pearl, yet in reality, it was Fortune who inclined her “ face towards me and supported me and my family. Whenever “ I took his Majesty on my shoulder, auspiciousness raised me from “ the dust. Accordingly, by the blessing of this service which was “ destined for me, a great grace and a lucky star were conferred on me. “ And I and my family became famous throughout the seven climes." Another story was told by Maulānā Nūru-d-dīn Tarkhān and some others who were in attendance on the Court, viz., that near the emergence of the sun of fortune (Akbar), his Highness Jahānbānī was recreating himself in a room which had latticed windows, and the formula of the rectification of the glorious birth was before him. > — Henry Beveridge 1897, The Akbarnama (H.
