Beveridge) 910.5.2 - **Language:** English ### [910.5.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.910.5.2) One of the three is the \`Alī-shang \_tūmān\_, to the north of which are fastness-mountains, connecting with Hindū-kush and inhabited by Kāfirs only. What of Kāfiristān lies nearest to \`Alī-shang, is Mīl out of which its torrent issues. The tomb of Lord Lām,\[780\] father of his Reverence the prophet Nuḥ (Noah), is in this \_tūmān\_. In some histories he is called Lamak and Lamakān. Some people are observed often to change \_kāf\_ for \_ghain\_ (\_k\_ for \_gh\_); it would seem to be on this account that the country is called Lamghān. The second is Alangār. The part of Kāfiristān nearest to it is Gawār (Kawār), out of which its torrent issues (the Gau or Kau). This torrent joins that of \`Alī-shang and flows with it \[Sidenote: Fol. 133b.\] into the Bārān-water, below Mandrāwar, which is the third \_tūmān\_ of the Lamghānāt. - [Previous: 910.5.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.910.5.1) - [Next: 910.5.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.910.5.3) - [Up: 910.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.910.5) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.910.5.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.910.5.2) · Pramāṇa
