Beveridge) 902.6 - **Language:** English ### [902.6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.902.6) This year the mutual recriminations of Sl. Ḥusain Mīrzā and Badī\`u'z-zamān Mīrzā led on to fighting; here are the particulars:—Last year, as has been mentioned, Badī\`u'z-zamān Mīrzā and Muz̤affar Ḥusain Mīrzā had been made to kneel for Balkh and Astarābād. From that time till this, many envoys had come and gone, at last even \`Alī-sher Beg had gone but urge it as all did, Badī\`u'z-zamān Mīrzā would not consent to give up Astarābād. 'The Mīrzā,' he said, 'assigned\[327\] it to my son, Muḥammad Mū\`min Mīrzā at the time of his circumcision.' A conversation had one day between him and \`Alī-sher Beg testifies to his acuteness and to the sensibility of \`Alī-sher Beg's feelings. After saying many things of a private nature in the Mīrzā's ear, \`Alī-sher Beg added, 'Forget these matters.'\[328\] 'What matters?' rejoined the Mīrzā instantly. \`Alī-sher Beg was much affected and cried a good deal. At length the jarring words of this fatherly and filial discussion went so far that \_his\_ father against his father, and \_his\_ son against his son drew armies out for Balkh and Astarābād.\[329\] Up (from Harāt) to the Pul-i-chirāgh meadow, below Garzawān,\[330\] went Sl. Ḥusain Mīrzā; down (from Balkh) came \[Sidenote: Fol. 41b.\] Badī\`u'z-zamān Mīrzā. On the first day of Ramẓān (May 2nd.) Abū'l-muḥsin Mīrzā advanced, leading some of his father's light troops. There was nothing to call a battle; Badī\`u'z-zamān Mīrzā was routed and of his braves masses were made prisoner.
