Beveridge) 904.2.8 - **Language:** English ### [904.2.8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.904.2.8) Two braves chopped very well at one another; on our side, Samad, Ibrāhīm \_Sārū's\_ younger brother, and on their side, Shāh-suwār, one of the Ḥiṣārī Mughūls. Shāh-suwār struck so that his sword drove through Samad's helm and seated itself well in his head; Samad, spite of his wound, struck so that his sword cut off Shāh-suwār's head a piece of bone as large as the palm of a hand. Shāh-suwār must have worn no helm; they trepanned his head and it healed; there was no one to trepan Samad's and in a few days, he departed simply through the wound.\[467\] Amazingly unseasonable was this defeat, coming as it did just in the respite from guerilla fighting and just when we had regained the country. One of our great props, Qaṃbar-\`alī \_Mughūl\_ (the Skinner) had gone to his district when Andijān \[Sidenote: Fol. 66.\] was occupied and therefore was not with us. (\_e. Taṃbal attempts to take Andijān.\_) Having effected so much, Taṃbal, bringing Jahāngīr Mīrzā with him, came to the east of Andijān and dismounted 2 miles off, in the meadow lying in front of the Hill of Pleasure (\`Aīsh).\[468\] - [Previous: 904.2.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.904.2.7) - [Next: 904.2.9](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.904.2.9) - [Up: 904.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.904.2) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.904.2.8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.904.2.8) · Pramāṇa
