During this dominion-increasing time H.M. the Shahinshah always wore in Agra the garb of indifference, and was testing the men of the age. He was continually engaged in hunting deer with the cita, and in elephant-fights, and such other external matters which the superficial man regards as matters of insouciance, while the wise recognise them as the veil of world-adorning beauty. The incomparable Deity day by day made the light of the sun of fortune of His own chosen one more and more resplendent, and what H.M. regarded as a veil of his beauty was converted by the Creator into exhibitions of his beauty, so that day by day the majesty of that Khedive of the age was exalted. The kingly might and majesty were continually unveiling themselves without any external insignia. The specialities and details of such actions cannot be committed to books and records. The dust-seated mote, Abul Fazl, who has come in haste and is putting together an abridged account of the acts of this Khedive of the age, by questioning bit by bit those acquainted with them, is somewhat surprised at the eloquent and able men of this dominion-conjoined with eternity. - [Previous: 345.6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.akbar.akbarnama~en-beveridge.345.6) - [Next: 345.8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.akbar.akbarnama~en-beveridge.345.8) - [Up: 345](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.akbar.akbarnama~en-beveridge.345) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.akbar.akbarnama~en-beveridge.345.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.akbar.akbarnama~en-beveridge.345.7) · Pramāṇa
