I–II 271.6 - **Language:** English ### [271.6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.akbar.akbarnama~en-beveridge.271.6) They are imagining evil for me in thinking of the decease of His Majesty Jahanbani, and are gathering my temporal good from my spiritual ill. Or rather they are casting trouble into the country of welfare and raising the head of sedition. For the spiritual and temporal good fortune of children lies in their hopes and wishes being always for the preservation of their august fathers, and they wish them long life. For he who does not act rightly by his temporal God how shall he conduct himself properly towards his spiritual God?” Let men admire the lofty understanding, the pure nature, and the right thinking of this spiritually and temporally great one (Akbar)!
