Similarly in one of his farmans (ordinances) to the current and future administrators of the empire, Akbar cancels the tax on all items that constitute means of necessary livelihood for the populace. 39 Moreover, he requires from his officials to ensure that weak people were not oppressed by the strong and the tyrants do not stretch the hand of cruelty and oppression over the downtrodden and crush them ruthlessly. 40

In another circular, which enumerates the duties of the imperial officers, Akbar clearly instructs them to

study books on ethics and good morals . . . so that they may be acquainted with the various extreme stages and requirements of faith and piety and may not be diverted from the right path by mischief-mongers. 41
