I–II 252.5 - **Language:** English ### [252.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.akbar.akbarnama~en-beveridge.252.5) His Majesty the Shahinshah in whose coming there were thousands of prosperities and good omens came out to welcome him. The Atgah Khan and a number of the courtiers tendered their service. His Majesty exulted and expanded at the auspicious sight of that eye-pupil of the Khilafat and new moon of glory, from whose temples there shone the auspiciousness of the two worlds, and prostrated his forehead in thanksgiving to Almighty God. On Friday, 2nd Ramzan, which was the auspicious time, he, attended by victory and conquest, cast the shadow of his advent over the city, and prostrated himself on the floor of prayer. Blessings and congratulations arose from the people, and at this time Samandar came from Kashmir with petitions and presents from M. Haidar. In the letter were eloquent praises of the climate, of the spring and the autumn, of the flowers and fruits of Kashmir, and pressing entreaties that he would visit that lovely region. There were also fitting expressions about the conquest of Hindustan, and incitements were held to the world-conquering genius. His Majesty out of the abundance of his goodness sent a diploma of victory full of favourable expressions to the Mirza. And he mentioned therein his secret designs upon India. He was constantly engaged in plans for strengthening the Khilafat and for improving the affairs of the State, and applied his intellect to this object in accordance with the methods which the times called for. - [Previous: 252.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.akbar.akbarnama~en-beveridge.252.4) - [Next: 252.6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.akbar.akbarnama~en-beveridge.252.6) - [Up: 252](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.akbar.akbarnama~en-beveridge.252) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.akbar.akbarnama~en-beveridge.252.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.akbar.akbarnama~en-beveridge.252.5) · Pramāṇa
