Beveridge) 912.6.2 - **Language:** English ### [912.6.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.912.6.2) In my days of plenty I have given from my hand what matched the blood-relationship and the position of whatsoever member of that (Chaghatāī) dynasty chanced down upon me. For example, when the honoured Shāh Begīm came to me, I gave her Pamghān, one of the best places in Kābul, and failed in no sort of filial duty and service towards her. Again, when Sl. Sa\`īd Khān, Khān in Kāshghar, came \[914 \_AH.\_\] with five or six naked followers on foot, I looked upon him as an honoured guest and gave him Mandrāwar of the Lamghān \_tūmāns\_. Beyond this also, when Shāh Ismā\`īl had killed Shaibāq Khān in Marv and I crossed over to Qūndūz (916 \_AH.\_-1511 \_AD.\_), the Andijānīs, some driving their (Aūzbeg) \_dāroghas\_ out, some making their places fast, turned their eyes to me and sent me a man; at that time I trusted those old family servants to that same Sl. Sa\`īd Khān, gave him a force, made him Khān and sped him forth. Again, down to the present time (\_circa\_ 934 \_AH.\_) I have not looked upon any member of that family who has come to me, in any other light than as a blood-relation. For example, there \[Sidenote: Fol. 201.\] are now in my service Chīn-tīmūr Sulṯān; Aīsān-tīmūr Sulṯān, Tūkhtā-būghā Sulṯān, and Bābā Sulṯān;\[1238\] on one and all of these I have looked with more favour than on blood-relations of my own. - [Previous: 912.6.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.912.6.1) - [Next: 912.6.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.912.6.3) - [Up: 912.6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.912.6) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.912.6.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.912.6.2) · Pramāṇa
