One
day the Emperor asked Birbal, "Birbal, is it possible to be the
"noblest" and the "lowest" together?" Birbal said,
"Yes, Jahaanpanaah" "Then bring me such a person."
Birbal
went and returned next day with a beggar and presenting him to Akbar said,
"This is the lowest among all of your subjects, Jehanpanah" Akbar
asked, "Good, that may be true, but I don't see that how he can be the
noblest?"
"He
has been given the honor of having an audience with the Emperor, that makes him
the noblest among the beggars, Jahaanpanaah."
