903 AH.—AUG. 30TH. 1497 TO AUG. 19TH. 1498 AD.[335] (_a. Resumed account of Bābur's second attempt on Samarkand._) When we had dismounted in the Qulba (Plough) meadow,[336] behind the Bāgh-i-maidān (Garden of the plain), the Samarkandīs came out in great numbers to near Muḥammad Chap's [Sidenote: Fol. 43.] Bridge. Our men were unprepared; and before they were ready, Bābā `Alī's (son) Bābā Qulī had been unhorsed and taken into the fort. A few days later we moved to the top of Qulba, at the back of Kohik.[337] That day Sayyid Yūsuf,[338] having been sent out of the town, came to our camp and did me obeisance.
