An encounter between Sarmad Kashani (d. 1661 CE), a Sufi of Iranian Jewish origin, with the Mughal Prince Dara Shukoh (d. 1659). The accompanying Persian quatrain reads, 'Sarmad, who attained union with the Eternal, / reached the station of Muhammad himself. Even the executioner's sword could not sober him, / since he was drunk with the wine of divine union.' From the Tajalli ʿAli Album, Princeton University Library MS 102G, f. 3v.
