Indeed it was taken as a joke by Akbar and his team, although its author, a certain brAhmaNa of the fourth veda from Andhra country, a convert to Islam and team-mate of bigoted badAyUnI, was serious about it. When the chap's works was presented to Akbar, he became a laughing stock in the court at the hands of bIrbar and faizI, and eventually faded out in oblivion. badAyUnI refers to the event.
badAyUnI with his team of translators also tried to deliberately distort Akbar's project of mahAbhArata-in-persian when he inserted some of Moslem theology (qayAmat and all) in the vana-parvan. As soon as Akbar discovered the mischief, he almost literally with a slipper in hand and choicest abuses on lips had badAyUnI chased away. badAyUnI records some of the innovative abuses Akbar used for him in his diary, while the remaining is left for our imagination to reconstruct.
