I–II 376.2.6 - **Language:** English ### [376.2.6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.akbar.akbarnama~en-beveridge.376.2.6) Assuredly whoever fails to recognise the power of the lord of the age, and becomes intoxicated with the heady wine of the world, will see such days. This is the first stage that has been reached. Give ear to me, for among the occurrences I shall describe the downfall of M. Sulaiman, so that the wise may take warning. The brief statement now is, that on the day when Mun‘im Khan, the Khan-Khanan gave his feast the ambassadors were introduced. And when the protestations, the laments and the apologies for crimes of the Mirza had been made known, the heart of the Shahinshah, which is an ocean of kindness, accepted the excuses, and after making kind inquiries he expressed compassion for the Mirza. He used lofty utterances, and the whole of that joyful day was spent in mental and physical pleasures. During this auspicious year a large number of aspirants left their homes and came to prostrate themselves at the threshold of fortune, being attracted by the reports of the justice and liberality of the Khedive of the age. They succeeded in their objects and made the eulogium of H.M. the Shahinshah the amulet of their faith and fortune. Among them came the blessed feet of that bowl of knowledge and deposit of truths—Khwaja Abdu-shahid, the son of Khwaja ‘Abdulla, who is known as Khwajagan-Khwaja, who again was the son of Khwaja Nagiru-d-din Ubaidullah, who is known as Khwaja Ahrar. Khwaja Abdu-shahid had external accomplishments and also internal gifts. - [Previous: 376.2.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.akbar.akbarnama~en-beveridge.376.2.5) - [Next: 376.2.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.akbar.akbarnama~en-beveridge.376.2.7) - [Up: 376.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.akbar.akbarnama~en-beveridge.376.2) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.akbar.akbarnama~en-beveridge.376.2.6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.akbar.akbarnama~en-beveridge.376.2.6) · Pramāṇa
