Beveridge) 907.1.3 - **Language:** English ### [907.1.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.907.1.3) I took my mother Khānīm out with me; two other women-folk went too, one was Bīshka (var. Peshka)-i-Khalīfa, the other, Mīnglīk \_Kūkūldāsh\_.\[573\] At this exodus, my elder sister, Khān-zāda Begīm fell into Shaibāq Khān's hands.\[574\] In the darkness of that night we lost our way\[575\] and wandered about amongst the main irrigation channels of Soghd. At shoot of dawn, after a hundred difficulties, we got past Khwāja Dīdār. At the Sunnat Prayer we scrambled up the rising-ground of Qarā-būgh. \[Sidenote: Fol. 95b.\] From the north slope of Qarā-būgh we hurried on past the foot of Judūk village and dropped down into Yīlān-aūtī. On the road I raced with Qāsim Beg and Qaṃbar-\`alī (the Skinner); my horse was leading when I, thinking to look at theirs behind, twisted myself round; the girth may have slackened, for my saddle turned and I was thrown on my head to the ground. Although I at once got up and remounted, my brain did not steady till the evening; till then this world and what went on appeared to me like things felt and seen in a dream or fancy. Towards afternoon we dismounted in Yīlān-aūtī, there killed a horse, spitted and roasted its flesh, rested our horses awhile and rode on. Very weary, we reached Khalīla-village before the dawn and dismounted. From there it was gone on to Dīzak. - [Previous: 907.1.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.907.1.2) - [Next: 907.1.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.907.1.4) - [Up: 907.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.907.1) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.907.1.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.907.1.3) · Pramāṇa
