The wisdom of Birbal was unparalleled. But Akbar's brother-in-law was extremely jealous of him. He asked the Emperor to dispense with Birbal's services and appoint him in his place. He gave ample assurance that he would prove to be more capable than Birbal. Birbal resigned and left the palace and Akbar's brother-in-law was made a minister in his place. With a view to testing the new minister, Akbar gave him 300 gold coins and said, "Spend these gold coins in such a way that I get in return a hundred gold coins in this life; a hundred gold coins in the other worlds and another hundred gold coins neither here nor there.

The new minister, confused and confounded, spent sleepless nights worrying over how he would get himself out of this mess.

Eventually, on his wife's advice, he sought Birbal's help. Birbal said, "Just give me the gold coins. I will handle the rest."
