Beveridge) 910.11.1 - **Language:** English ### [910.11.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.910.11.1) We dismounted at the torrent coming down to the Āb-i-istāda from the plain of Kattawāz. The several other times we have passed it, we have found a dry channel with no water whatever,\[920\] but this time, there was so much water, from the spring-rains, that no ford could be found. The water was not very broad but very deep. Horses and camels were made to swim it; some of the baggage was hauled over with ropes. Having got across, we went on through Old Nānī and Sar-i-dih to Ghaznī where for a few days Jahāngīr Mīrzā was our host, setting food before us and offering his tribute. (\_m. Return to Kābul.\_) That year most waters came down in flood. No ford was found through the water of Dih-i-yaq\`ūb.\[921\] For this reason we went straight on to Kamarī, through the Sajāwand-pass. At Kamarī I had a boat fashioned in a pool, brought and set on the Dih-i-yaq\`ūb-water in front of Kamarī. In this all our people were put over. We reached Kābul in the month of Ẕū'l-ḥijja (May 1505 AD.).\[922\] A few days earlier Sayyid Yūsuf \_Aūghlāqchī\_ had gone to God's \[Sidenote: Fol. 154.\] mercy through the pains of colic. (\_n. Misconduct of Nāṣīr Mīrzā.\_) - [Previous: 910.10.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.910.10.7) - [Next: 910.11.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.910.11.2) - [Up: 910.11](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.910.11) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.910.11.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.910.11.1) · Pramāṇa
