After a rapid journey to the shrine at Ajmer, which proved that his physical endurance, despite his spiritual experiences, had in no way abated since the expedition of 1573, Akbar reached Fathpur Sīkrī on 12 September, and signalised his arrival at his capital by an act of profusion which may perhaps be connected with the vision at Bhera. He filled a dry cistern with coined money, to the value of four and a quarter million rupees, which was distributed in charity and in gifts to his courtiers and to learned men. Abu-’l-Fazl was not forgotten.
