Beveridge) 910.8.5 - **Language:** English ### [910.8.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.910.8.5) When, a few days later, the army had been mustered, persons acquainted with the country were summoned and questioned about its every side and quarter. Some advised a march to the Plain (Dasht);\[878\] some approved of Bangash; some wished to go into Hindūstān. The discussion found settlement in a move on Hindūstān. It was in the month of Sha\`bān (910 AH.-Jan. 1505 AD.), the Sun being in Aquarius, that we rode out of Kābul for Hindūstān. We took the road by Bādām-chashma and Jagdālīk and reached Adīnapūr in six marches. Till that time I had never seen a hot country or the Hindūstān border-land. In Nīngnahār\[879\] another world came to view,—other grasses, other trees, other animals, other birds, and other manners and customs of clan and horde. We were amazed, and truly there was ground for amaze. \[Sidenote: Fol. 145b.\] - [Previous: 910.8.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.910.8.4) - [Next: 910.8.6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.910.8.6) - [Up: 910.8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.910.8) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.910.8.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.910.8.5) · Pramāṇa
