c14.s4.3

Mān Singh was a veritable genius. He was great in war and still greater in peace. Because of his extremely liberal religious views, he was popular with both Hindus and Muslims, so much so that according to Ni'āmatulla he was "taken to be a Muslim by the Muslims and a Hindu by the Hindus". The chronicler also avers that it was because of his popularity and friendship with the Muslims, that no Muslim ruler could gain ascendancy over him.⁶²
