Story of the first meeting of Akbar Birbal -
Akbar was quite fond of hunting. He used to take time out for hunting anyway. Later, he was also called the best horseman and shikari of his time. Once King Akbar went out for a hunt, he did not know how to run a gallop on the horse and left only a few soldiers, and the rest of the army was left behind. The evening had come; all were hungry and thirsty and understood that they had lost their way. The king could not understand which way he should go.
After traveling a little distance, they saw a three-way road. The king was pleased that he would somehow reach his capital now. But then which way to go. The king was confused. They were all thinking, but no idea was coming out. Then he saw a boy staring at him standing on the side of the road. When the soldiers saw this, they caught him and presented him to the king. The king asked in a loud voice, "O boy, what road goes to Agra"? The boy smiled and said, "Sir, if this road cannot walk, then how will it go to Agra." You have to go to the Maharaj, and after saying this, he blushed and laughed.
All the soldiers stood silent, aware of the king's anger. The boy said again, "People, people go, not the way." Hearing this, the king smiled this time and said, "No, you are right. Akbar asked, "What is your name. My name is Mahesh Das Maharaj, the boy replied, and who are you? Akbar took off his ring and gave it to Mahesh Das and said, "You are talking to Maharaja Akbar - Emperor of India." I like fearless people. You come to my court and show me this ring. I will recognize you by seeing this ring. Now you tell me which path I should take so that I reach Agra.
Mahesh Das bowed his head and pointed the way to Agra and kept looking at the Emperor of India.
Second Visit -
When Mahesh Das became young, he went to King Birbal to try his luck. He also had a ring given by the king he had received from the king some time ago. He took the blessings of his mother and walked towards the new capital of India - Fatehpur Sikri.
Mahesh Das was shocked to see the new capital of India. He walked towards the red-walled palace, avoiding the crowds. The palace's door was huge and decorated with precious stones; Mahesh Das had never seen such a door even in his dreams. As soon as he wished to enter the palace, the concierge with a thick mustache waved his spear in the air.
"Where do you think you are entering"? The guard asked in a thundering voice. Sir, I have come to meet Maharaj, Mahesh replied humbly. " good! So the King is waiting for you, when will you come ”? The doorman asked while laughing. Mahesh smiled and said, "Absolutely, sir, and see I have come." And yes, "Of course, you will be courageous and brave, but you are putting your life in danger by stopping me from going to the palace." Hearing this, the concierge was stunned but still dared to say, "Why are you saying this?" You know I can pen your head for this. But Mahesh was not among those who gave up; he quickly showed the Maharaj's ring to the concierge.
Now the courage to not recognize Maharaj's ring was not in the concierge. And despite not wanting, he had to allow Mahesh to come inside. However, he did not want to let him go, so he said to Mahesh, okay, you can go in, but I have a condition. What is that, Mahesh asked in surprise. The concierge said, "You will give me half of whatever prize the King will give you." Mahesh thought for a moment and then smiled and said, okay, I approve.
And thus, Mahesh entered the palace, inside he saw Maharaja Akbar seated on a gold throne. Gradually Mahesh reached very close to Akbar, saluted Akbar bowing, and said - Your fame spread throughout the world.
Akbar smiled and said, "What do you want, who are you"? Mahesh said on his paws and said, "Maharaj, I have come here to serve you." And saying this, Mahesh put the king's given a ring in front of the king. Oh! More came, you are Mahesh Das. Yes, my lord. I am the same, Mahesh.
Say what you want, Mahesh? Your Majesty, I want you to beat me a hundred codes. What are you saying, Mahesh? Raza said in shock. How can I give such an order when you have not committed any crime. Mahesh humbly replied, "No, Maharaj, kill me only a hundred codes." Even now, Akbar had to give orders to kill a hundred Kodas even if he did not want to.
The executioner started hitting the code - one, two, three, four, Fifty. Just Maharaj, Mahesh said with pain. Why is Mahesh hurting? No, Your Majesty, there is nothing like that. I want to fulfill my promise. Which promise, Mahesh? When I was entering the palace, the concierge allowed me to come in on the condition that I would give half of whatever gift I received to the concierge. I have eaten fifty pieces of my share, now that court should also get its share. Hearing this, all the courtiers began to laugh.
The concierge was called, and he was given fifty codes. Raza told Mahesh, "You are as brave and fearless as you were in childhood." I wanted to catch corrupt employees from my court for which I took many measures, but none of them worked. But you did this work in a little while. Because of your intelligence, from today onwards, you will be called Birbal. And you are hereby appointed as my principal advisor.
