Answer 2

In the poem 'Tansen' Hazrat Inayat Khan tells about the famous singer who sang beautifully in Akbar's court. The King used to praise him and give him gifts. He considered him to be a chief jewel in his diadem.

One day he sang the Deepak raga, the song of fire and his body started burning, a maiden came and sang the Malhar raga, the song of water and restored him to the normal state of health. Emperor Akbar was very impressed, he praised Tansen's teacher and wanted to see him. Tansen told him that his teacher did not care for material things and lived in the Himalayas. He did not like to sing for kings.

So they disguised themselves as poor men and went to see the Holy Master in the Himalayas. He sang the Malkous raga, the ecstatic song enchanted everyone even the birds and beasts. Emperor Akbar was enraptured by the heavenly song. When he was about to praise him the Master vanished.

Akbar asked Tansen the name of the raga and requested him to sing it in the same soul stirring way. Tansen told him that his song would not have the same effect because he sang for the King while his Master sang for God.
