Beveridge) 908.6.1 - **Language:** English ### [908.6.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.908.6.1) At mid-day, a something glittering was seen on a horse, as far away as eye can reach. We were not able to make out at all what it was. It must have been Muḥ. Bāqir Beg himself; he had been with us in Akhsī and when we got out and scattered, he must have come this way and have been moving then to a hiding-place.\[663\] Banda-\`alī and Bābā Sairāmī said, 'The horses have had no corn for two days and two nights; let us go down into the dale and put them there to graze.' Accordingly we rode down and put them to the grass. At the Afternoon Prayer, a horseman passed along the rising-ground where we had been. We recognized him for Qādīr-bīrdī, the head-man of Ghawā. 'Call him,' I said. They called; he came. After questioning him, and speaking to him of favour and kindness, and giving him promise and fair word, I sent him to bring rope, and a grass-hook, and an axe, and material for crossing water,\[664\] and corn \[Sidenote: Fol. 117b.\] for the horses, and food and, if it were possible, other horses. We made tryst with him for that same spot at the Bed-time Prayer. - [Previous: 908.5.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.908.5.7) - [Next: 908.6.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.908.6.2) - [Up: 908.6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.908.6) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.908.6.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.908.6.1) · Pramāṇa
