介绍（中）	这幅托钵僧画反映了莫卧儿对圣人的兴趣。沙贾汗的长子达拉·希科亲王成为这些精神信仰的忠实学生，这幅画很可能是在他的庇护下完成的一个戴着棕色动物毛皮覆盖物、耳环、手镯和脚链的托钵僧用皮带牵着一只深棕色的熊。红色的耳环和铁手镯是卡兰达和海达里教团的托钵僧佩戴的传统配饰。他的前臂和胸部布满了自己造成的烧伤痕迹。这些标记在波斯语中被称为dagh（热），表示对上帝的忠诚和爱这一场景暗示了苏菲所熟悉的一个寓言，在这个寓言中，更高的自我（这里可能象征着托钵僧）努力克服他更低级的本能（熊）。他的烧伤、破烂的衣服、禁食和游荡给了他在这场斗争中的力量《沙贾汗相册》，也被称为《皇帝相册》，收录了50本插图和书法对开本，其中41本属于大都会博物馆，9本收藏于弗里尔美术馆
介绍（英）	This painting of a dervish reflects the Mughal interest in holy men. Prince Dara-Shikoh, Shah Jahan's eldest son, became a serious student of these spiritual beliefs and this painting was most likely executed under his patronage. A dervish wearing a brown animal fur covering, earrings, bangles, an anklet leads a dark brown bear by a leash. The red earing and iron bangles are customary accessories worn by dervishes of the Qalandar and Haydari orders. His forearms and chest are dotted with markings, caused by self-inflicted burns. These marks, known as dagh (hot) in Persian, demonstrate faithfulness and love for God. The scene suggests an allegory familiar to Sufis in which the higher self (here perhaps symbolized by the dervish) struggles to overcome his baser instincts (the bear). His burns, ragged garb, fasting, and wandering give him strength in this struggle. The Shah Jahan Album, also known as the Emperor's Album, features fifty illustrated and calligraphic folios, forty-one of which belong to the Metropolitan Museum, and nine of which reside in the collection of the Freer Gallery of Art. In lower part of second border around the portrait, Shah Jahan's handwriting identifies this as "Work of Govardhan."
