Beveridge) 908.3.4 - **Language:** English ### [908.3.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.908.3.4) He was a very skilful surgeon; if a man's brains had come \[Sidenote: Fol. 109.\] out, he would cure it, and any sort of wound in an artery he easily healed. For some wounds his remedy was in form of a plaister, for some medicines had to be taken. He ordered a bandage tied on\[651\] the wound in my leg and put no seton in; once he made me eat something like a fibrous root (\_yīldīz\_). He told me himself, 'A certain man had his leg broken in the slender part and the bone was shattered for the breadth of the hand. I cut the flesh open and took the bits of bone out. Where they had been, I put a remedy in powder-form. That remedy simply became bone where there had been bone before.' He told many strange and marvellous things such as surgeons in cultivated lands cannot match. Three or four days later, Qaṃbar-\`alī, afraid on account of what he had said to me, fled (to Taṃbal) in Andijān. A few days later, The Khāns joined to me Ayūb \_Begchīk\_ with his \_tūmān\_, and Jān-ḥasan \_Bārīn\_ with the Bārīn \_tūmān\_ and, as their army-beg, Sārīgh-bāsh Mīrzā,—1000 to 2000 men in all, and sent us towards Akhsī.

Bābur's expedition to Akhsī.\_) - [Previous: 908.3.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.908.3.3) - [Next: 908.3.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.908.3.5) - [Up: 908.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.908.3) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.908.3.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.908.3.4) · Pramāṇa
