(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. (Hemu)
