Maḥmūd Khān (\_Chaghatāī\_), acting on the \[Sidenote: Fol. 30b.\] word of Junaid \_Barlās\_ and of some of the notables of Samarkand, led his army out to near Kān-bāī with desire to take that town. Bāī-sunghar Mīrzā, on his side, marched out in force. They fought near Kān-bāī. Ḥaidar \_Kūkūldāsh\_, the main pillar of the Mughūl army, led the Mughūl van. He and all his men dismounted and were pouring in flights of arrows (\_shība\_) when a large body of the mailed braves of Ḥiṣār and Samarkand made an impetuous charge and straightway laid them under their horses' feet. Their leader taken, the Mughūl army was put to rout without more fighting. Masses (\_qālīn\_) of Mughūls were wiped out; so many were beheaded in Bāī-sunghar Mīrzā's presence that his tent was three times shifted because of the number of the dead. At this same crisis, Ibrāhīm \_Sārū\_ entered the fort of Asfara, there read Bāī-sunghar Mīrzā's name in the \_Khuṯba\_ and took up a position of hostility to me. (\_Author's note.\_) Ibrāhīm \_Sārū\_ is of the Mīnglīgh people;\[267\] he had served my father in various ways from his childhood but later on had been dismissed for some fault. - [Previous: 900.2.6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.900.2.6) - [Next: 900.2.8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.900.2.8) - [Up: 900.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.900.2) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.900.2.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.900.2.7) · Pramāṇa
