I–II 324.11 - **Language:** English ### [324.11](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.akbar.akbarnama~en-beveridge.324.11) When he heard the facts he, out of his plenitude of wisdom, expressed no astonishment. He left the retribution to God, and uncomplainingly contemplated the decrees of Providence. When he returned in the evening from the hunting-ground, the Khān-Khānān sent Maulānā Pīr Muhammad Shirwānī to him and represented that "the cause of his presumption was solely his devotion to the throne. Tardi Beg Khān had knowingly and treacherously elected in this battle the ignominy of flight. His insincerity and hypocrisy were known to all, for from first to last he had behaved badly. If such offences were passed over, the enterprises which H.M. had in view would not be accomplished. He was much ashamed of his presumption in not taking permission. The cause of this daring was that H.M. was a mine of kindness, and a fountain of benevolence. Certainly he would not have agreed to his (Tardi Beg) being killed. Under these circumstances if an order forbidding the deed had come from H.M., it would have been presumptuous beyond all bounds to act in opposition to it, while to obey the order, would have caused disorder in the country, and sedition in the army. He hoped that he would approve of him with the glance of pardon so that other evildoers might take warning.” The lord of the world, visible and invisible, graciously received Bairām Khān’s messenger and accepted the excuses of the Khān-Khānān. He soothed him by marks of favour and confidence, and addressed himself to the extirpation of contention. - [Previous: 324.10](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.akbar.akbarnama~en-beveridge.324.10) - [Next: 325](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.akbar.akbarnama~en-beveridge.325) - [Up: 324](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.akbar.akbarnama~en-beveridge.324) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.akbar.akbarnama~en-beveridge.324.11](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.akbar.akbarnama~en-beveridge.324.11) · Pramāṇa
