In the Mughūl tongue they call a \_kūr-khāna\_ Qarshī.\[404\] The name must have come in after the rule of Chīngīz Khān. Qarshī is somewhat scantily supplied with water; in spring it is very beautiful and its grain and melons are good. It lies 18 \_yīghāch\_\[405\] by road south and a little inclined to west of Samarkand. In the district a small bird, known as the \_qīl-qūyīrūgh\_ and resembling the \_bāghrī qarā\_, is found in such countless numbers that it goes by the name of the Qarshī birdie (\_murghak\_).\[406\] Khozār is another district; Karmīna another, lying between Samarkand and Bukhārā; Qarā-kūl another, 7 \_yīghāch\_\[407\] n.w. of Bukhārā and at the furthest limit of the water. - [Previous: 903.2.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.903.2.7) - [Next: 903.3.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.903.3.1) - [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.903.2.8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.903.2.8) · Pramāṇa
