Prince Dāniyal, with the levity of youth, had forgotten the vow which he had made by the head of his august father to forsake the habit of drinking, and had again addicted himself to wine. Akbar addressed to him a letter of exhortation, bidding him take warning by the fate of Prince Sultan Murad, and entreating him, if only out of regard to his earthly parent, to withdraw his hand from the impurity of this venomous and treacherous poison.
