c5.28

Sir William Ouseley relates how Mir Tansên, a wonderful musician in the time of the Emperor Akbar, sang one of the night râgas at mid-day. The powers of his music were such that it instantly became night, and the darkness extended in a circle round the palace as far as the sound of his voice could be heard.
