I–II 389.1.8 - **Language:** English ### [389.1.8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.akbar.akbarnama~en-beveridge.389.1.8) When one is given to understand by the tongue of actions that his service has been entrusted to another and that a servant who is chief manager has arrived on the scene, it is folly to be vexed; and such conduct is to allow oneself to be overcome of his desires. Rather, it is to overset oneself, and to damage oneself by one’s own hand. - [Previous: 389.1.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.akbar.akbarnama~en-beveridge.389.1.7) - [Next: 389.2.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.akbar.akbarnama~en-beveridge.389.2.1) - [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.389.1.8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.akbar.akbarnama~en-beveridge.389.1.8) · Pramāṇa
