Beveridge) 911.6.3 - **Language:** English ### [911.6.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.911.6.3) you are to be styled \_Hizabru'l-lāh\_ (Lion of God); you will overcome the Aūzbeg." Fully accepting this flattery, he put his \_fūṯa\_ (bathing-cloth) round his neck\[1085\] and gave thanks. Then, after Shaibāq Khān, coming against the Mīrzās, had beaten them one \[Sidenote: Fol. 173.\] by one near Bādghīs, Ẕū'n-nūn \_Arghūn\_ met him face to face near Qarā-rabāṯ and, relying on that promise, stood up against him with 100 to 150 men. A mass of Aūzbegs came up, overcame them and hustled them off; he himself was taken and put to death.\[1086\] He was orthodox and no neglecter of the Prayers, indeed made the extra ones. He was mad for chess; he played it according to his own fancy and, if others play with one hand, he played with both.\[1087\] Avarice and stinginess ruled in his character. Darwīsh-i-\`alī Beg was another,\[1088\] the younger full-brother of \`Alī-sher Beg. He had the Balkh Command for a time and there did good beg-like things, but he was a muddle-head and somewhat wanting in merit. He was dismissed from the Balkh Command because his muddle-headedness had hampered the Mīrzā in his first campaign against Qūndūz and Ḥiṣār. He came to my presence when I went to Qūndūz in 916 AH. (1510 AD.), brutalized and stupefied, far from capable begship and out-side peaceful home-life. Such favour as he had had, he appears to have had for \`Alī-sher Beg's sake. - [Previous: 911.6.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.911.6.2) - [Next: 911.6.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.911.6.4) - [Up: 911.6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.911.6) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.911.6.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.911.6.3) · Pramāṇa
