Beveridge) 910.9.3 - **Language:** English ### [910.9.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.910.9.3) Next day we marched forward and dismounted at Hangū, where local Afghāns had made a \_sangur\_ on a hill. I first heard the word \_sangur\_ after coming to Kābul where people describe fortifying themselves on a hill as making a \_sangur\_. Our men went straight up, broke into it and cut off a hundred or two of insolent Afghān heads. There also a pillar of heads was set up. From Hangū we marched, with one night's halt, to Tīl (Thāl),\[894\] below Bangash; there also our men went out and raided the Afghāns near-by; some of them however turned back rather lightly from a \_sangur\_.\[895\] (\_g. Across country into Bannū.\_) On leaving Tīl (Thāl) we went, without a road, right down a steep descent, on through out-of-the-way narrows, halted one night, and next day came down into Bannū,\[896\] man, horse and camel all worn out with fatigue and with most of the booty in cattle left on the way. The frequented road must have been a few miles to our right; the one we came by did not seem a riding-road at all; it was understood to be called the Gosfandliyār \[Sidenote: Fol. 148.\] (Sheep-road),—\_liyār\_ being Afghānī for a road,—because sometimes shepherds and herdsmen take their flocks and herds by it through those narrows. Most of our men regarded our being brought down by that left-hand road as an ill-design of Malik Bū-sa\`īd \_Kamarī\_.\[897\] (\_h. Bannū and the \`Īsa-khail country.\_) - [Previous: 910.9.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.910.9.2) - [Next: 910.9.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.910.9.4) - [Up: 910.9](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.910.9) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.910.9.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.910.9.3) · Pramāṇa
