Answer:

Emperor Akbar ordered Tansen to sing the Deepak raga because he was impressed by his musical skills and wanted to witness the power of this raga. The Deepak raga was said to cause fire when sung properly, and Akbar's courtiers were jealous of Tansen and wanted to harm him by making him sing this raga .
