Jahangir killing poverty:  an allegorical  painting by Abul Hasan in 1620 AD
His exalted Highness Jahangir uses the  arrow of generosity to eradicate the Daliddar (poverty) laying foundation of a new order of justice munificence
The “lion and the lamb shall lay down together” is often cited a prophecy speaking of a literal utopia on earth to come (Biblical reference).
It means peace and justice.
The Fish signifies prosperity
The Angels and the Halo enforce divine sanction/status of the Emperor to rule on earth
