The Akbarnama (H. Beveridge), vols. I–II 308

Language
English

308

It is now proper to construct the figure of the horoscope of the sacred accession with truthful compasses and righteous pen, so that awakened hearts may gain increased light and that the short-sighted may get length of vision; nay, that life may be given to the inanimate, and world-descrying life to the animate.
Verse. This is the kingly horoscope, This is the roll of Divine mysteries. Rays of might, and tablet of success Sum of wisdom and list of equity ’Tis the star of the star (Kaukabat-kaukab) of glory and greatness ’Tis tidings of joy to the universe Open the eye on this eternal tablet Rejoice for ever over both worlds.
