| Fifth Nobleman: | Cut off his offending hands. |
| Akbar: | What do you say Birbal? What is your opinion? |
| Birbal: | In my opinion, given of peace to the world, the offender should be given his favourite sweetmeats. |
| Courtiers: | Raja Birbal, are you out of your mind? Give sweetmeats for such a grave offence? |
| Birbal: | Yes, who would be so bold as to pull the Emperor’s moustache? Only his own grandson! |
