Raid on the Ghiljī Afghāns.\_) We had ridden out of Kābul with the intention of over-running the Ghiljī;\[1247\] when we dismounted at Sar-i-dih news was brought that a mass of Mahmands (Afghāns) was lying in Masht and Sih-kāna one \_yīghāch\_ (\_circa\_ 5 m.) away from us.\[1248\] Our begs and braves agreed in saying, "The Mahmands must be over-run", but I said, "Would it be right to turn aside and raid our own peasants instead of doing what we set out to do? It cannot be." - [Previous: 912.6.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.912.6.7) - [Next: 913.1.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.913.1.2) - [Up: 913.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.913.1) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.913.1.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.913.1.1) · Pramāṇa
