Beveridge) 913.1.3 - **Language:** English ### [913.1.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.913.1.3) Whether bitten by their own whim,\[1251\] or whether wanting to hurry, the whole army streamed off at the gallop (\_chāpqūn qūīdīlār\_); off galloped I after them and, by shooting an arrow now at a man, now at a horse, checked them after a \_kuroh\_ or two (3 m.?). It is very difficult indeed to check 5 or 6000 braves galloping loose-rein! God brought it right! They were checked! When we had gone about one \_shar\`ī\_ (2 m.) further, always with the Afghān blackness in sight, the raid\[1252\] was allowed. Masses of sheep fell to us, more than in any other raid. After we had dismounted and made the spoils turn back,\[1253\] one body of Afghāns after another came down into the plain, provoking a fight. Some of the begs and of the household went against one body and killed every man; Nāṣir Mīrzā did the same with another, and a pillar of Afghān heads was set up. An arrow pierced the foot of that foot-soldier Dost the Kotwāl who has been mentioned already;\[1254\] when we reached Kābul, he died. - [Previous: 913.1.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.913.1.2) - [Next: 913.1.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.913.1.4) - [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.913.1.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.913.1.3) · Pramāṇa
