Hemu quotes

When Shah Kuli Beg was told of what had occurred, he came up to the elephant (of Himun) and brought it into the presence of Bairam Khan. Bairam Khan... caused Himun to descend from the elephant and took him before the young and fortunate prince and said, ‘As this is our first success, let your Highness's own august hand smite this infidel with the sword.' The Prince, accordingly, struck him and divided his head from his unclean body. (Hemu)
...The king struck Hemu with his sword and he won the title of Ghazi... View quote

(Bairam Khan said): ‘This is your first war (ghazd), prove your sword on this infidel, for it will be a meritorious deed.' Akbar replied: ‘He is now no better than a dead man, how am I to strike him? If he had sense and strength, I would try my sword.' Then in the presence of them all, the Khan as a warrior of the faith, cut him down with the sword. View quote
