Birbal arrives with the royal seal. The guard treats him contemptuously and demands half of whatever Akbar gives him. Birbal asks Akbar for 50 lashes; he takes 25 (Akbar gives them gently, puzzled), and then he explains the other 25 are for the corrupt guard. Akbar is impressed. He gives him the name Birbal and tells him to stay in court and exert a good influence.
