Beveridge) 903.3.5 - **Language:** English ### [903.3.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.903.3.5) Although, during the years in which, coveting Samarkand, I had persistently led my army out, Sl. Maḥmūd Khān\[413\] had provided me with no help whatever, yet, now it had been taken, he wanted Andijān. Moreover, Aūzūn Ḥasan and Sl. Aḥmad \_Taṃbal\_, just when soldiers of ours and all the Mughūls had deserted to Andijān and Akhsī, wanted those two districts for Jahāngīr Mīrzā. For several reasons, those districts could not be given to them. One was, that though not promised to The Khān, yet he had asked for them and, as he persisted in asking, an agreement with him was necessary, if they were to be given to Jahāngīr Mīrzā. A further reason was that to ask for them just when deserters from us had fled to them, was very like a command. If the matter had been brought forward earlier, some way of tolerating a command might have been found. At \[Sidenote: Fol. 52.\] the moment, as the Mughūls and the Andijān army and several even of my household had gone to Andijān, I had with me in Samarkand, beg for beg, good and bad, somewhere about 1000 men. When Aūzūn Ḥasan and Sl. Aḥmad \_Taṃbal\_ did not get what they wanted, they invited all those timid fugitives to join them. Just such a happening, those timid people, for their own sakes, had been asking of God in their terror. Hereupon, Aūzūn Ḥasan and Sl. Aḥmad \_Taṃbal\_, becoming openly hostile and rebellious, led their army from Akhsī against Andijān. - [Previous: 903.3.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.903.3.4) - [Next: 903.3.6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.903.3.6) - [Up: 903.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.903.3) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.903.3.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.903.3.5) · Pramāṇa
