Beveridge) 910.1.3 - **Language:** English ### [910.1.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.910.1.3) After we reached Qabādīān, a younger brother of Khusrau Shāh, Bāqī \_Chaghānīānī\_, whose holdings were Chaghānīān,\[675\] Shahr-i-ṣafā and Tīrmīẕ, sent the \_khatīb\_\[676\] of Qarshī to me to express his good wishes and his desire for alliance, and, after we had crossed the Amū at the Aūbāj-ferry, he came himself to wait on me. By his wish we moved down the river to opposite Tīrmīẕ, where, without fear \[or, without going over himself\],\[677\] he had their families\[678\] and their goods brought across to join us. This done, we set out together for Kāhmard and Bāmīān, then held by his son\[679\] Aḥmad-i-qāsim, the son of Khusrau Shāh's sister. Our plan was to leave the households (\_awī-aīl\_) safe in Fort Ajar of the Kāhmard-valley and to take action wherever \[Sidenote: Fol. 121.\] action might seem well. At Aībak, Yār-\`alī Balāl,\[680\] who had fled from Khusrau Shāh, joined us with several braves; he had been with me before, and had made good use of his sword several times in my presence, but was parted from me in the recent throneless times\[681\] and had gone to Khusrau Shāh. He represented to me that the Mughūls in Khusrau Shāh's service wished me well. Moreover, Qaṃbar-\`alī Beg, known also as Qaṃbar-\`alī \_Silākh\_ (Skinner), fled to me after we reached the Zindān-valley.\[682\] (\_c.
