Beveridge) 903.4.3 - **Language:** English ### [903.4.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.903.4.3) In anxiety for Andijān, we had given Samarkand out of our hands; then heard we had lost Andijān. It was like the saying, 'In ignorance, made to leave this place, shut out from that' (\_Ghafil az īn jā rānda, az ān jā mānda\_). It was very hard and vexing to me; for why? never since I had ruled, had I been cut \[Sidenote: Fol. 54b.\] off like this from my retainers and my country; never since I had known myself, had I known such annoyance and such hardship. (\_f. Bābur's action from Khujand as his base.\_) On our arrival in Khujand, certain hypocrites, not enduring to see Khalīfa in my Gate, had so wrought on Muḥammad Ḥusain Mīrzā \_Dūghlāt\_ and others that he was dismissed towards Tāshkīnt. To Tāshkīnt also Qāsim Beg \_Qūchīn\_ had been sent earlier, in order to ask The Khān's help for a move on Andijān. The Khān consented to give it and came himself by way of the Ahangarān Dale,\[418\] to the foot of the Kīndīrlīk Pass.\[419\] There I went also, from Khujand, and saw my Khān dādā.\[420\] We then crossed the pass and halted on the Akhsī side. The enemy for their part, gathered their men and went to Akhsī. - [Previous: 903.4.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.903.4.2) - [Next: 903.4.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.903.4.4) - [Up: 903.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.903.4) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.903.4.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.903.4.3) · Pramāṇa
