### [291.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.akbar.akbarnama~en-beveridge.291.2)

The farseeing and wise who knew that the victory was due to the felicity of His Majesty the Shahinshah and nursling of Divine light, opened their eyes and ears in surprised contemplation of the speakers, and the experienced and the just, knowing that this great victory which had shed its rays on the day assigned to the watch (naubat-i-mansuban) of the light of the garden of the Khilafat was due to the presence of his Majesty the Shahinshah, were astonished at the utterances of those men (Abu’l-ma'ali and Bairam). At last His Majesty Jahanbani became by inspiration cognisant of the truth, and ordered the victory to be inscribed in the name of His Majesty the Shahinshah and thereby gratified the loyal far and near. One of the strange occurrences of this time was the arrest of Khwaja Mu'azzam. The brief account is that a letter containing some lines by the Khwaja came to hand. In his contemptible understanding and wickedness, he had written improper things to Sikandar and had represented himself as his well-wisher. His Majesty was greatly surprised and called upon the Khwaja for an explanation. As he could not deny, he said that his well-wishing (daulat-khwahi) to the successes of the referred to His Majesty and that he had purposely contrived that the letter should come into His Majesty's hand in order that he should show him more favour, and cause him to be the performer of good service. His Majesty ordered him into confinement and placed him in charge of Mir Qali.
