I–II 384.7 - **Language:** English ### [384.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.akbar.akbarnama~en-beveridge.384.7) As the Divine protection ever watches over that spiritual and material cynosure, that black-hearted and ill-fated one had no power or pretext (for injuring him) and the “Avaunt” of real and spiritual sovereignty protected him in his loneliness. Next day Maham Anaga brought the zanana which had remained behind and arranged a great entertainment. Adham Khan was roused from the sleep of negligence by that able dame and recognised the supreme honour of the advent of the Khedive of the world. He tendered gifts and prepared a feast. He produced before His Majesty whatever had come into his hands from Bāz Bahādur’s estate, whether moveable or immovable, as well as all the wives, dancing girls and courtezans. His Majesty in accordance with his general benevolence accepted them, and presented him with some of them. He stayed four days in Sārangpūr and on the day of Khurdād 6 Khurdād, Divine month, corresponding to Saturday, 2 Ramzān (17th May, 1561), he set out on his return to Agra. At the first stage, which was in the district of Sārangpūr and was called Patancor, Adham Khan gave way to evil thoughts and disgraced himself for ever and ever. As Maham Anaga was dear to that appreciator of service, and connoisseur of jewels he winked at the affair and said nothing. - [Previous: 384.6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.akbar.akbarnama~en-beveridge.384.6) - [Next: 384.8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.akbar.akbarnama~en-beveridge.384.8) - [Up: 384](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.akbar.akbarnama~en-beveridge.384) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.akbar.akbarnama~en-beveridge.384.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.akbar.akbarnama~en-beveridge.384.7) · Pramāṇa
