Of the begs were \`Alī-darwesh Beg, \`Alī-mazīd \_Qūchīn\_, Muḥammad Bāqir Beg, Shaikh \`Abdu'l-lāh, Lord of the Gate and Mīrīm \_Lāgharī\_. Of men choosing exile and hardship with me, there may have been, of good and bad, between 200 and 300. Of begs there were Qāsim \_Qūchīn\_ Beg, Wais \_Lāgharī\_ Beg, Ibrāhīm \_Sārū Mīnglīgh\_ Beg, Shīrīm T̤aghāī, Sayyidī Qarā Beg; and of my household, Mīr Shāh \_Qūchīn\_, Sayyid Qāsim \_Jalāīr\_, Lord of the Gate, Qāsim-\`ajab, \`Alī-dost T̤aghāī's (son) Muḥammad-dost, Muḥammad-\`alī \_Mubashir\_,\[422\] Khudāī-bīrdī \_Tūghchī Mughūl\_, Yārīk T̤aghāī, Bābā \`Alī's (son) Bābā Qulī, Pīr Wais, Shaikh Wais, \[Sidenote: Fol. 55b.\] Yār-\`alī \_Balāl\_,\[423\] Qāsim \_Mīr Akhwūr\_ (Chief Equerry) and Ḥaidar \_Rikābdār\_ (stirrup-holder). It came very hard on me; I could not help crying a good deal. Back I went to Khujand and thither they sent me my mother and my grandmother and the families of some of the men with me. - [Previous: 903.4.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.903.4.4) - [Next: 903.4.6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.903.4.6) - [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.903.4.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.903.4.5) · Pramāṇa
