We had already sent to ask The Khān's help; he assigned, to act with us against Samarkand, his son, Sl. Muḥammad (Sulṯānīm) Khānika and (his son's guardian) Aḥmad Beg with 4 or 5000 men and rode himself as far as Aūrā-tīpā. There I saw him and from there went on by way of Yār-yīlāq, past the Būrka-yīlāq Fort, the head-quarters of the sub-governor (\_dārogha\_) of the district. Sl. Muḥammad Sulṯān and Aḥmad Beg, riding light and by another road, got to Yār-yīlāq first but on their hearing that Shaibānī Khān was raiding Shīrāz and thereabouts, turned back. There was no help for it! Back I too had to go. Again I went to Khujand! - [Previous: 903.4.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.903.4.5) - [Next: 903.4.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.903.4.7) - [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.903.4.6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.903.4.6) · Pramāṇa
