I–II 297.8 - **Language:** English ### [297.8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.akbar.akbarnama~en-beveridge.297.8) Another of his wonderful inventions was a movable palace. This palace was composed of three storeys which were of cut beams. The master-carpenters had so joined the pieces together that whoever looked at them thought that the whole was of one piece. Whenever they wanted they could take it to pieces and convey it to any country. And the ladders (or steps) to the upper storey were so constructed that they could be opened out or shut up at pleasure. One of the wonderful inventions of that holy mind was a cap (taj) which was alike magnificent and agreeable to wear. The border (or margin) which went round the taj had two divisions (furja), and each of these was in the form of the figure seven (V), and thus by there being two figures 7 (VV) the number 77 was produced, which was the numerical value of the word ‘izz. Here it was called the taj-i-izzat or cap of honour. This was invented in Badakhshan and when His Majesty came to Agra and appeared before His Majesty Geti Sitani Firdaus Makani the latter was much pleased. - [Previous: 297.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.akbar.akbarnama~en-beveridge.297.7) - [Next: 297.9](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.akbar.akbarnama~en-beveridge.297.9) - [Up: 297](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.akbar.akbarnama~en-beveridge.297) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.akbar.akbarnama~en-beveridge.297.8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.akbar.akbarnama~en-beveridge.297.8) · Pramāṇa
