The Qarā-sū flows through this meadow before entering Kān-i-gil. When it comes to Khān Yūrtī it curves back so far that it encloses, with a very narrow outlet, enough ground for a camp. Having noticed these advantages, we camped there for a time during \[Sidenote: Fol. 48b.\] the siege of Samarkand.\[392\] Another meadow is the Būdana Qūrūgh (Quail Reserve), lying between Dil-kushā and the town. Another is the Kūl-i-maghāk (Meadow of the deep pool) at some 4 miles from the town. This also is a round\[393\] meadow. People call it Kul-i-maghāk meadow because there is a large pool on one side of it. Sl. \`Alī Mīrzā lay here during the siege, when I was in Khān Yūrtī. Another and smaller meadow is Qulba (Plough); it has Qulba Village and the Kohik Water on the north, the Bāgh-i-maidān and Darwesh Muḥammad Tarkhān's Chār-bāgh on the south, and the Kohik upland on the west. - [Previous: 903.2.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.903.2.4) - [Next: 903.2.6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.903.2.6) - [Up: 903.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.903.2) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.903.2.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.903.2.5) · Pramāṇa
