The Book of Akbar 385: Verse. ’Gainst him whom God defends Who is there that dares contend If he assail a tiger or other beast of prey He easily strips their skins from their bodies.

385

The wild beast, so great and terrible, fell bleeding to the dust before the strength of his arm and the might of his courage, and a shout arose on all sides. This was the first beast of prey which His Majesty personally attacked. Its cubs were killed by the swords and arrows of a number of brave men who were in attendance on the sublime stirrup.
Among the excellent occurrences that happened during this journey was the designating of the Mir Munshi Muhammad Asghar by the title of Ashraf Khan.
In fine, Agra was made fortunate by His Majesty’s arrival on the day of Dibadin, 23 Khurdād, Divine month, corresponding to Tuesday, 19 Ramzan, 968 (4th June, 1561), and the gates of joy were opened for mankind. This great expedition was completed in one month and seven days. The going took sixteen days, four were spent in Sarangpūr, and seventeen were occupied in returning. In it the degrees of courage were fulfilled, and the stages of wisdom revealed. The dues of grace and kindness were paid, and breadth of capacity and greatness of soul were manifested.
