I–II 8.6 - **Language:** English ### [8.6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.akbar.akbarnama~en-beveridge.8.6) “Ambulacri superatâ longitudine (quam habet 150 passuum) portam contingimus primariam, extus, Janitoribus Sopi, intus, albis munitam spadonibus. Haec tota caeruleo imbuta, iconem exhibet Mithrae, i.e., Solis (detorta vox est ab obsoleto Mehin quod Solem notat) praegrandem, auream et sparso in orbem jubare radiantem. Sanctitatem loci, non alii ornamenti species, mystici gentis judicio, gravius exprimebat quam Mithra, sive Sol, qui coelo decus, universitati lux et vitae focus praepositus est. Solem igitur pro summo Numine (verius pro larva Numinis) antiquitus colebat, ejusque simulacrum adoptabat absolutae potentiae suae insigne, quod et domi statuebat togatae Majestati presidium, et in Campo signis praeferebat militaribus ita animas accensurum objectu rei, quae uno quasi complexu Divini Numinis imaginem, et Majestatis Regiae praesentiam innueret.” But I think A. F. chiefly means to refer to the solar being who came into Alang-goa’s tent and that he wishes to indicate as the true explation of true histories. And he perceives that the same Light which took shape without human instrumentality or a father's loins, in the pure womb of her Majesty Alanqua, after having, in order to arrive at perfection, occupied during several ages the bodily wrappings of other holy witnesses, is manifesting itself at the present day, in the pure entity of this unique God-knower and God-worshipper (Akbar).
