### [910.6.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.910.6.3)

I ordered that the spring should be enclosed in mortared stone-work, 10 by 10, and that a symmetrical, right-angled platform should be built on each of its sides, so as to overlook the whole field of Judas-trees. If, the world over, there is a place to match this when the \_arghwāns\_ are in full bloom, I do not know it. The yellow \_arghwān\_ grows plentifully there also, the red and the yellow flowering at the same time.\[819\] In order to bring water to a large round seat which I had built on the hillside and planted round with willows, I had a channel dug across the slope from a half-mill stream, constantly flowing in a valley to the south-west of Sih-yārān. The date of cutting this channel was found in \_jūī-khūsh\_ (kindly channel).\[820\] Another of the \_tūmāns\_ of Kābul is Luhūgur (mod. Logar). Its one large village is Chīrkh from which were his Reverence Maulānā Ya\`qūb and Mullā-zāda \`Us̤mān.\[821\] Khwāja Aḥmad \[Sidenote: Fol. 137b.\] and Khwāja Yūnas were from Sajāwand, another of its villages. Chīrkh has many gardens, but there are none in any other village of Luhūgur. Its people are Aūghān-shāl, a term common in Kābul, seeming to be a mispronouncement of Aūghān-sha\`ār.\[822\]
