Summary:
"Wandering through his kingdom disguised as an ordinary citizen, Emperor Akbar is struck by the intelligence of a young man who is able to recognise him. The young man is Birbal, and Akbar invites him to his court. One of the navaratnas (nine gems) of Akbar's court, Birbal is known for his sharp intelligence and wit. Everyone comes to Birbal when they are in trouble - be it an impoverished old lady, an artist, or Akbar himself. Birbal's wisdom and honesty makes him one of Akbar's most trusted courtiers. He outwits and teases everyone who is at fault, from the smallest cheat to the emperor himself. He makes sure that justice is served, and that even the most helpless person is given his due in the Mughal court"--P. [4] of cover.
