Akbar Birbal Stories- Hindi Moral Tales

Chimes

Jalal-ud-din-Mohammad Akbar, also known as Akbar, was one of the most famous Mughal kings and he reigned India during the 16th century. Akbar, unlike other Mughal emperors, was keen to have talented people in his court irrespective of their religion. He had nine gems in his court and amongst them, Birbal was widely considered the most intelligent. A Brahmin by birth, Birbal’s original name was Mahesh Das and he met Akbar first time when he helped Akbar and his courtiers find the way back to their kingdom after having lost their way while on a hunting trip.

Akbar and Birbal’s friendship lasted for 30 years before Birbal became a casualty of a war with North West tribes and it is said that Akbar went into a deep mourning for 2 days on hearing this and didn’t eat any food. Numerous Akbar Birbal stories from this time have been passed on from one generation to another in which Akbar will test Birbal’s skills by throwing him into tricky situations and Birbal had to use his wit to get out of them.

Sword of a Brave Soldier (बहादुर सैनिक की तलवार)
Following the death of one of Akbar’s brave soldiers, the soldier’s old wife faced plenty of difficulties and poverty in her life. When Birbal learned about her situation, he summoned her to the court with the soldier’s sword. The next day, the old lady visited Akbar and asked him to keep her husband’s sword in his treasury. She explained to Akbar how precious the sword is to her because it is her husband’s sole remaining memento. Akbar carefully examined the sword and asked the old lady to take it back since it was old and rusty. As she was about to leave, Birbal walked in and ironically indicated to Akbar how unique and valuable the sword was. Akbar realized the significance and quickly ordered his courtiers to weigh the sword and offer the old lady the equivalent amount of gold coins. Once again, Birbal had used his wit and cleverness to help common folks of the kingdom.

Clever Thieves (चालाक चोर)
Many years ago, there was a businessman in Delhi. Two thieves disguised as business people once came to meet him. They pretended to be from China and requested the innocent man to sell a few jewels for them. As an honest man, he requested the thieves in disguise to hand it to him and that he would look into their request. The criminals demanded that the man not deliver the jewels to anyone else under any circumstances. A few hours later, the second thief returned and wanted back the jewels. He was informed by the man that his other partner had already arrived and taken them. When he heard this, the thief became enraged and began yelling. He threatened and instructed the businessman to get his jewels at whatever cost. They then traveled to Badshah Akbar’s court, where Birbal heard the entire narrative and then instructed the second thief to bring in his other partner. Birbal apprehended and punished the second thief when he had no answer and was attempting to flee the court. He was imprisoned for two years, and the innocent businessman joyously returned home.

The Magical Stick (जादुई छड़ी)
Once upon a time, there lived a businessman who was fascinated by jewelry and liked wearing them. He used to wear a diamond necklace. One day he kept his necklace on the table and went for a shower. When he came back, his diamond necklace was nowhere to be found. He gathered all his servants and asked them to return it if anyone has taken it. None came forward so the businessman went to the court to report his complaint.  Birbal listened to his story and asked the man to come along with his servants the next day. The following day when all of them arrived, Birbal gave each servant one stick and informed them that it is a magical stick to detect the thief. The stick of the thief will grow four fingers taller. Birbal then asked all the servants to return to the court the next morning. The thief who took the necklace was very scared. He cut the stick four-finger shorter to be safe.  But it was revealed the next morning that it was no magical stick but the trick of Birbal to find the thief. Thus, Birbal once again proved to be the wise gem of the court of Akbar.

Brahman's Will (ब्राह्मण की इच्छा)
Once upon a time, in Delhi, there lived a Brahman who insisted on being called "Shastriji" despite having no knowledge of the Vedas. He tried hard as a child to learn the Vedas but was never able to remember what he read. Desperate Brahman sought to Birbal for assistance. Perplexed Birbal, paused for a moment to consider his options before instructing the man to carry out his orders. After few minutes Birbal had an idea and asked the Brahman to execute it.  The Brahman went near Birbal's house the next day, as per Birbal's order, and began loitering. Birbal instructed some nearby children to refer to the Brahman as "Shastriji" until he became annoyed. The kids began to irritate the Brahman by calling him "Shastriji" from that day forward, and the Brahman would scare them away. After a few days, the entire town became aware of the event and began referring to him as "Shastriji." This is how Birbal fulfilled the Brahman's wish.

The Three Idols (तीन मूर्तियां)
Everyone is aware of Birbal’s intelligence and wise decisions. But when the King of Iran came to know about Birbal, he decided to test him. The king sent three idols to the court of Akbar. The idols were exactly identicals to look at. There was a letter attached to them where the king mentioned, “ Emperor Akbar, among the three idols, identify and label the good one, the beautiful one and the bad one and then sent it back to me. Or else accept your failure.”It was a difficult task to complete as all the idols looked exactly the same. After a long time, Akbar decided to summon Birbal for help. He explained the entire trivia to him. Birbal took the idols with him and asked for a day to solve this puzzle. The next day when Birbal came back to the court, Akbar asked him for the answers, the good, the bad, and the most beautiful. Birbal explained his examination and informed Akbar that all the three idols have a small hole in their ear. In the case of the first idol, the hole leads to the mouth. In the second idol, it leads to the other ear and in the case of the third one, it leads to the stomach but gets stuck there. So in conclusion, the first one is the bad one, the second one is neutral and the third one is the best. He further explained the hidden meaning of each idol to all the people of the court and once again proved to be the wisest of all. The three idols were then labeled and sent back to the King of Iran. The impressed king sent a letter complimenting Emperor Akbar and his wise gem Birbal.
