I–II 350.3 - **Language:** English ### [350.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.akbar.akbarnama~en-beveridge.350.3) After two or three days Khwaja Aminu-d-din Mahmud, Mir ‘Abdulla Bakhshi, Khwaja Muhammad Husain Bakhshi and some servants were sent to Nasir-ul-mulk with the message: “You were wearing the dress of a poor scholar when you came to Qandahar. As you appeared simple and honest, and did good service you were raised to high office by me, and from being a Mulla you became a leader of armies. As your capacity was small you easily became intoxicated and got out of hand after one cup. We fear lest some great mischiefs may be committed by you which it will be difficult to remedy. It is better that for some time you should draw in your feet under the blanket of disappointment, and sit down in a corner. You will now make over your standard, drum and other insignia of distinction and of your exaltation, and betake yourself to the amending of your disposition, for this is good both for yourself, and for the world. Thereafter whatever we shall determine with regard to you, will be carried out.” - [Previous: 350.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.akbar.akbarnama~en-beveridge.350.2) - [Next: 350.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.akbar.akbarnama~en-beveridge.350.4) - [Up: 350](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.akbar.akbarnama~en-beveridge.350) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.akbar.akbarnama~en-beveridge.350.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.akbar.akbarnama~en-beveridge.350.3) · Pramāṇa
