The hot and cold climates are separated on this road by the pass of Bādām-chashma (Almond-spring); on its Kābul side snow falls, none at Qūrūq-sāī, towards the Lamghānāt.\[769\] After descending this pass, another world comes into view, other trees, other plants (or grasses), other animals, and other manners and customs of men. Nīngnahār is nine torrents (\_tūqūz-rūd\_).\[770\] It grows good crops of rice and corn, excellent and abundant oranges, citrons and pomegranates. In 914 AH. (1508-9 AD.) I laid out the Four-gardens, known as the Bāgh-i-wafā (Garden-of-fidelity), on a rising-ground, facing south and having the Sūrkh-rūd between it and Fort Adīnapūr.\[771\] There oranges, citrons and pomegranates grow in abundance. The year I defeated Pahār Khān and took Lāhor and Dipālpūr,\[772\] I had plantains (bananas) brought and planted there; they did very well. The year before I had had sugar-cane planted there; it also did well; some of it was sent to Bukhārā and Badakhshān.\[773\] The garden lies high, has running-water close at hand, and a mild winter \[Sidenote: Fol. 132b.\] climate. In the middle of it, a one-mill stream flows constantly past the little hill on which are the four garden-plots. - [Previous: 910.4.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.910.4.5) - [Next: 910.4.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.910.4.7) - [Up: 910.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.910.4) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.910.4.6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.910.4.6) · Pramāṇa
