Beveridge) 910.5.3 - **Language:** English ### [910.5.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.910.5.3) Of the two \_bulūks\_ of Lamghān one is the Nūr-valley.\[781\] This is a place (\_yīr\_) without a second\[782\]; its fort is on a beak (\_tūmshūq\_) of rock in the mouth of the valley, and has a torrent on each side; its rice is grown on steep terraces, and it can be traversed by one road only.\[783\] It has the orange, citron and other fruits of hot climates in abundance, a few dates even. Trees cover the banks of both the torrents below the fort; many are \_amlūk\_, the fruit of which some Turks call \_qarā-yīmīsh\_;\[784\] here they are many, but none have been seen elsewhere. The valley grows grapes also, all trained on trees.\[785\] Its wines are those of Lamghān that have reputation. Two sorts of grapes are grown, the \_arah-tāshī\_ and the \_sūhān-tāshī\_;\[786\] the first are yellowish, the second, full-red of fine colour. The first make the more cheering wine, but it must be said that neither wine equals its reputation for cheer. High up in one of its glens, apes (\_maimūn\_) are found, none below. Those people (\_i.e.\_ Nūrīs) used to keep swine but they have given it up in our time.\[787\] Another \_tūmān\_ of Lamghān is Kūnār-with-Nūr-gal. It lies somewhat out-of-the-way, remote from the Lamghānāt, with its borders in amongst the Kāfir lands; on these accounts its people give in tribute rather little of what they have. The Chaghān-sarāī \[Sidenote: Fol. 134.\] water enters it from the north-east, passes on into the \_bulūk\_ of Kāma, there joins the Bārān-water and with that flows east. - [Previous: 910.5.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.910.5.2) - [Next: 910.5.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.910.5.4) - [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.910.5.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.910.5.3) · Pramāṇa
