Akbar requested Suriji
You have spent your valuable time and blessed me with your teachings. I have hardly repaid you. Please give me an opportunity to serve you.

The ascetics
have no
needs. So
why seek anything?
The emperor at once instructed his attendants
Go and release
all birds from all
the cages in the palace.
You are a great renouncer. However, i
not for yourself, please ask for something at
least for my spirtual
benefit.

of
O Emperor! The thing I love most is compassion
for beings. See these numerous caged birds in your palace, please get them released. I would
love that,
In no time the sky was filled with flying and chirping birds as if they were conveying their gratitude towards Suriji.
