Beveridge) 910.1.2 - **Language:** English ### [910.1.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.910.1.2) \[Sidenote: Fol. 120b.\] Three or four marches beyond Aīlāk, when halt was made at a place near Ḥiṣār called Khwāja \`Imād, Muḥibb-\`alī, the Armourer, came to me from Khusrau Shāh. Through Khusrau Shāh's territories I have twice happened to pass;\[674\] renowned though he was for kindness and liberality, he neither time showed me the humanity he had shown to the meanest of men. As we were hoping something from the country and the tribes, we made delay at every stage. At this critical point Sherīm T̤aghāī, than whom no man of mine was greater, thought of leaving me because he was not keen to go into Khurāsān. He had sent all his family off and stayed himself unencumbered, when after the defeat at Sar-i-pul (906 AH.) I went back to defend Samarkand; he was a bit of a coward and he did this sort of thing several times over. (\_b. Bābur joined by one of Khusrau Shāh's kinsmen.\_) - [Previous: 910.1.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.910.1.1) - [Next: 910.1.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.910.1.3) - [Up: 910.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.910.1) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.910.1.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.910.1.2) · Pramāṇa
