I–II 321.2 - **Language:** English ### [321.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.akbar.akbarnama~en-beveridge.321.2) At a time which was the season for showing gratitude and for requiting favours, viz., the education and regard which had been bestowed on him by H.M. Geti Sitani Firdaus Makani and H.M. Jahanbani Jannat Ashiyani, by performing good service and thereby winning the praise of mortals, and by proffering with a good intention and a firm resolve, the jewel of his fidelity to be tested by acute assayers, attaining to success, spiritual and temporal, he, from an evil nature and want of decency, passed beyond the omissions of ingrates, and washed the glorious rolls in the waters of sin and then flung them on the earth of rebellion. He changed duties (huquq) into disobediences (‘uquq) and took the path of shamelessness. He gathered together his dispersed troops from the hill-country of Badakhshan and held out to his ungrateful heart the prospect of an attack upon Kabul. Haram Begum was the daughter of Mir Wais Beg, and mother of M. Ibrahim, and was known by the name of Wali N‘iamat (lady of beneficence). In early days, when H.M. Jahanbani was meditating an expedition to India, she had come on a visit of condolence for the death of M. Hindal in order that she might sympathise with the chaste ladies Gulchahra Begum and Gulbadan Begum who were the sisters of H.M. Jahanbani Jannat Ashiyani. This was the Begum’s ostensible design, but in reality her motive was a quarrel with her husband and son which had led her to leave them and to determine on a pilgrimage to Mecca. - [Previous: 321.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.akbar.akbarnama~en-beveridge.321.1) - [Next: 321.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.akbar.akbarnama~en-beveridge.321.3) - [Up: 321](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.akbar.akbarnama~en-beveridge.321) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.akbar.akbarnama~en-beveridge.321.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.akbar.akbarnama~en-beveridge.321.2) · Pramāṇa
