came with answer “Afganistan”. Akbar then asked to call Birbal.
When Birbal came,king told him to go ask those people just Who
they are? Birbal went there came with a gift in hand for king, he
said "your Majesty, they are sellers from Afganistan selling dates,
they are going to Lakhanow, and when I told them that HIS
Majesty was asking about them They gave me a Gift for HIS
MAJESTY, this is the Gift”.
