Beveridge) 906.1.5 - **Language:** English ### [906.1.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.906.1.5) Leaving Fān on our right, we moved on for Keshtūd. The head-man of Fān had a reputation for hospitality, generosity, \[Sidenote: Fol. 82.\] serviceableness and kindness. He had given tribute of 70 or 80 horses to Sl. Mas\`ūd Mīrzā at the time the Mīrzā, when Sl. Ḥusain Mīrzā made attack on Ḥiṣār, went through Fān on his way to his younger brother, Bāī-sunghar Mīrzā in Samarkand. He did like service to others. To me he sent one second-rate horse; moreover he did not wait on me himself. So it was! Those renowned for liberality became misers when they had to do with me, and the politeness of the polite was forgotten. Khusrau Shāh was celebrated for liberality and kindness; what service he did Badī\`u'z-zamān Mīrzā has been mentioned; to Bāqī Tarkhān and other begs he shewed great generosity also. Twice I happened to pass through his country;\[542\] not to speak of courtesy shewn to my peers, what he shewed to my lowest servants he did not shew to me, indeed he shewed less regard for us than for them. (\_Turkī\_) Who, o my heart! has seen goodness from worldlings? Look not for goodness from him who has none. - [Previous: 906.1.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.906.1.4) - [Next: 906.1.6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.906.1.6) - [Up: 906.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.906.1) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.906.1.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.906.1.5) · Pramāṇa
