It was well he was no stranger but one of my own blood. \[Sidenote: Fol. 101b.\] After showing myself\[609\] in his presence, I used to go to Shāh Begīm's, entering her house, bareheaded and barefoot, just as if it were my own. - [Previous: 907.2.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.907.2.7) - [Next: 908.1.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.908.1.2) - [Up: 908.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.908.1) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.908.1.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.908.1.1) · Pramāṇa
