1871

A portion of the first lino of each inscription has been covered by the rim of the seal but the position of the seals on the two tablets being slightly different and the inscriptions on the two being almost identical the portion covered in one has been left apparent in the other. [...] The use of the in syllables holm Arils and phat indicates a desire to subject the mysticism of the Tantras to the supremacy of the Allah of Muhammad Akbar sore not to let the followers of that system escape or in other words to make the whole of the Ilindu community bowsto the religion of the new prophet. [...] So the emperor Mu'izz-uddin and the nobles of his realm and empire and the children of the peers and princes of his time and the gay tho rich. the sensualists and the epicures who lived under his rule one and all gave themselves up to gluttony and idleness and pleasure and merriment.and the hearts of high and low alike were engaged in wine and love and song and canival. [...] The rumour of the employments of the Emperor and his courtiers high and low and their favourite pursuits and their gaiety and mirth Tread and reached all the quarters of the kingdom: and from all the quarters of the cities and of the empire minstrels and rhetors and beauties and singers and wits and buffoons and mimics came to court.
