I–II 389.1.4 - **Language:** English ### [389.1.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.akbar.akbarnama~en-beveridge.389.1.4) When the camp arrived at the territory of Kalpi, ‘Abdullah Khan Uzbeg made a petition through the courtiers in waiting that the spiritual and temporal leader would cast a glance of favour on the lowly and eternally glorify by his advent the hovel of this attendant: “should His Majesty do me this honour what impropriety would there be in the Sun of fortune’s cherishing a mote.” That world of urbanity granted his petition and enlightened his lodging by the holy light of his splendour. ‘Abdullah paid the respects of obedience. The whole of that day His Majesty held high festival in his house, which was situated on the banks of the Jamna, and spent the time in joy and delight. From thence he turned his rein towards Karra, which is on the Ganges. As the suburbs of that city became the place of his encampment he turned his attention to hunting in the neighbourhood. It chanced that he spent several days in that delightful land. The Khan Zaman and his brother Bahadur Khan, as the time of their rending the veil had not yet come, awoke from the slumber of negligence and proceeded to do homage. They are exalted by doing so and presented the varieties of the country by way of peshkash. They tendered noted elephants such as Dilsankar, Pulta, Dalil (?), Sab-dilia and Jag-Mohan (world-fascination), every one of which was a ‘heaven in his world, and they with shame and repentance made the dust of the threshold the collyrium of their eyes. - [Previous: 389.1.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.akbar.akbarnama~en-beveridge.389.1.3) - [Next: 389.1.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.akbar.akbarnama~en-beveridge.389.1.5) - [Up: 389.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.akbar.akbarnama~en-beveridge.389.1) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.akbar.akbarnama~en-beveridge.389.1.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.akbar.akbarnama~en-beveridge.389.1.4) · Pramāṇa
