I–II 365.4 - **Language:** English ### [365.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.akbar.akbarnama~en-beveridge.365.4) Since from considering all that sincerity and reliability which were clearly manifested in all his behaviour, it appeared and still appears that these actions originated in wicked men and were in reality far from himself; nor can it be believed that they are his own, for he has been nourished and cherished by this great family, and obedience to our orders is for him right and proper, we directed for the sake of demonstration that he should withdraw himself from these abominable proceedings, and that he should arrest and send to Court this lost and abandoned crew who have been the cause of the destruction of his fortune and honour, and who for their own objects support his rebellion and enmity. As we, during these five years, have respected his wishes and have not shown any recusancy, and have not gone beyond his good pleasure in anything that he proposed, whether it was acceptable to us, or inacceptable, he likewise should at once submit to this our order, and not be vexed therewith. Whenever he acts according to this order, we shall clear our heart with regard to him and entirely forgive his crimes and offences. And whenever he is inclined to serve, and there is occasion for it, we shall summon him to our service, so that the veil over him may be removed. - [Previous: 365.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.akbar.akbarnama~en-beveridge.365.3) - [Next: 365.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.akbar.akbarnama~en-beveridge.365.5) - [Up: 365](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.akbar.akbarnama~en-beveridge.365) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.akbar.akbarnama~en-beveridge.365.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.akbar.akbarnama~en-beveridge.365.4) · Pramāṇa
