Beveridge) 908.2.5 - **Language:** English ### [908.2.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.908.2.5) Sl. Muḥ. \_Galpuk\_\[637\] was in Andijān,—the younger of Taṃbal's cadet brothers. We took the Mulberry-road and at the Mid-day Prayer came to the Khākān (canal), south of the town. A \[Sidenote: Fol. 106.\] foraging-party was arranged; I followed it along Khākān to the skirt of \`Aīsh-hill. When our scouts brought word that Sl. Muḥ. \_Galpuk\_ had come out, with what men he had, beyond the suburbs and gardens to the skirt of \`Aīsh, I hurried to meet him, although our foragers were still scattered. He may have had over 500 men; we had more but many had scattered to forage. When we were face to face, his men and ours may have been in equal number. Without caring about order or array, down we rode on them, loose rein, at the gallop. When we got near, they could not stand; there was not so much fighting as the crossing of a few swords. My men followed them almost to the Khākān Gate, unhorsing one after another. - [Previous: 908.2.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.908.2.4) - [Next: 908.2.6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.908.2.6) - [Up: 908.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.908.2) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.908.2.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.908.2.5) · Pramāṇa
