Beveridge) 911.6.4 - **Language:** English ### [911.6.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.911.6.4) Mughūl Beg was another. He was Governor of Herī for a time, later on was given Astarābād, and from there fled to Ya\`qūb Beg in \`Irāq. He was of amorous disposition\[1089\] and an incessant dicer. Sayyid Badr (Full-moon) was another, a very strong man, \[Sidenote: Fol. 173b.\] graceful in his movements and singularly well-mannered. He danced wonderfully well, doing one dance quite unique and seeming to be his own invention.\[1090\] His whole service was with the Mīrzā whose comrade he was in wine and social pleasure. Islīm \_Barlās\_ was another, a plain (\_turk\_) person who understood hawking well and did some things to perfection. Drawing a bow of 30 to 40 \_bātmāns\_ strength,\[1091\] he would make his shaft pass right through the target (\_takhta\_). In the gallop from the head of the \_qabaq-maidān\_,\[1092\] he would loosen his bow, string it again, and then hit the gourd (\_qabaq\_). He would tie his string-grip (\_zih-gīr\_) to the one end of a string from 1 to 1-1/2 yards long, fasten the other end to a tree, let his shaft fly, and shoot through the string-grip while it revolved.\[1093\] Many such remarkable feats he did. He served the Mīrzā continuously and was at every social gathering. Sl. Junaid \_Barlās\_ was another;\[1094\] in his latter days he went to Sl. Aḥmad Mīrzā's presence.\[1095\] He is the father of the Sl. Junaid \_Barlās\_ on whom at the present time\[1096\] the joint-government of Jaunpūr depends. - [Previous: 911.6.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.911.6.3) - [Next: 911.6.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.911.6.5) - [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.911.6.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.911.6.4) · Pramāṇa
