1)Swami Haridas said that Tansen was talented because on seeing Swami and his disciples resting in the forest he hid BEHIND a tree and roared like a tiger and managed to frighten his disciples.2)Tansen learnt music from Swami Haridas for eleven years.When Akbar heard him singing he was impressed so asked him to join his court.3)Tansen was a great favourite of Akbar. Akbar would call upon Tansen to sing at any time during the day or night. Quite often he would walk into Tansen’s house to hear him practice. He also gave him many presents.4)The other courtiers were jealous of Tansen. They declared that they would never be able to rest till Tansen was ruined.5) (i)Tansen had an idea that if SOMEONE sang Raga Megh at the same time when he was singing Raga Deepak, then it would rain and he would not get BURNT. He taught his daughter Saraswati and her friend, Rupvati to sing Raga Megh. He told them to begin singing when the lamps start burning.(ii)Yes, his plan worked. As he continued singing Raga Deepak the leaves on the trees dried up and fell. Birds fell dead due to the heat and the water in the rivers began to boil. Flames shot up out of NOWHERE and lighted the lamps. At once, Saraswati and Rupvati began singing Raga Megh. The sky clouded over and the rain CAME down. As a result, Tansen was saved.
