Solution

Spellbound by Tansen's Deepak Raga, Akbar could only imagine how great his teacher would be. So he wished to hear his teacher's song. Tansen explained that Ostad lives in a cave in the Himalayas and rejects earthly wealth and dislikes earthly kings. So Akbar did not mind if he had to dress as a slave to experience heavenly joys of the Ostad' s sound.
