This manuscript, commissioned by the Mughal emperor Akbar (r. 1556-1606), is one of many examples of Hindu texts that were translated and illustrated during Akbars reign, as the Emperor took a keen interest in the traditions and stories of other religious groups in India, founding a translation center to facilitate the spread of knowledge..
