Beveridge) 912.4.5 - **Language:** English ### [912.4.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.912.4.5) The Yaka-aūlāng people at once heard of our arrival and our dismounting; followed, warm houses, fat sheep, grass and horse-corn, water without stint, ample wood and dried dung for fires! To escape from such snow and cold to such a village, to such warm dwellings, was comfort those will understand who have had our trials, relief known to those who have felt our hardships. We tarried one day in Yaka-aūlāng, happy-of-heart and easy-of-mind; marched 2 \_yīghāch\_ (10-12 m.) next day and dismounted. The day following was the Ramẓān Feast\[1222\]; we went on through Bāmīān, crossed by Shibr-tū and dismounted before reaching Janglīk. (\_p. Second raid on the Turkmān Hazāras.\_) The Turkmān Hazāras with their wives and little children must have made their winter-quarters just upon our road\[1223\]; they had no word about us; when we got in amongst their cattle-pens and tents (\_alāchūq\_) two or three groups of these went to ruin and plunder, the people themselves drawing off with their little children and abandoning houses and goods. News was \[Sidenote: Fol. 196.\] brought from ahead that, at a place where there were narrows, a body of Hazāras was shooting arrows, holding up part of the army, and letting no-one pass. We, hurrying on, arrived to find no narrows at all; a few Hazāras were shooting from a naze, standing in a body on the hill\[1224\] like very good soldiers.\[1225\] - [Previous: 912.4.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.912.4.4) - [Next: 912.4.6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.912.4.6) - [Up: 912.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.912.4) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.912.4.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.912.4.5) · Pramāṇa
