I–II 394.4 - **Language:** English ### [394.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.akbar.akbarnama~en-beveridge.394.4) In order to effect this purpose he thought of a special alliance, to wit that he should by means of those who had the right of entrée introduce his eldest daughter, in whose forehead shone the lights of chastity and intellect, among the attendants on the glorious pavilion. Inasmuch as graciousness is natural to His Majesty the Shahinshah his petition was accepted and His Majesty sent him off from this station along with Caghatai Khan in order that he might arrange for this alliance, which is the material of the eternal glory of the family, and quickly bring his daughter. One of the dominion-increasing events of this time and which was an instance of the daily increasing distribution of justice by the Shahinshah, and a cause of tranquillising a crowd of the terrified inhabitants of the district, was the punishment of a leopard-keeper (citabān). The brief account of this is that as the Shahinshah made the hunting with the cīta one of the veils of his world-adorning beauty and showed a strong passion for it and often indulged in it, one of the citabāns waxed proud in his ignorance and forcibly took off a man’s pair of shoes and appropriated them. The owner was lamenting, and accidentally his cries came to His Majesty’s ears and the truth was discovered. The redresser of injustice as soon as he heard of the tyranny, ordered that the citabān should be seized and brought to him. - [Previous: 394.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.akbar.akbarnama~en-beveridge.394.3) - [Next: 394.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.akbar.akbarnama~en-beveridge.394.5) - [Up: 394](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.akbar.akbarnama~en-beveridge.394) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.akbar.akbarnama~en-beveridge.394.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.akbar.akbarnama~en-beveridge.394.4) · Pramāṇa
