60.1.7

Before Akbar came to invest this fortress, he despatched an ambassador to the rajah who was governor, directing him to forward his wife. If he did not agree to send her, he would come himself to fetch her. For he had been told that she was of great beauty, and so perfect that in all the world there was none other like her. Since, also, there was in the world no other king of greater valour or of greater wealth than himself (Akbar), therefore the most beautiful of women was his by right. If she were not delivered to him he would harry the whole kingdom with fire and sword in order to accomplish his desire. Therefore it were well if the rajah agreed to send him the lovely Padmany (Padamawati), as she was called, meaning 'the woman perfect in everything.' The Portuguese writer Faria mentions her many times.
