Barandūq \_Barlās\_ and Ẕū´n-nūn \_Arghūn\_ were all lying with their army in Bābā Khākī,\[1260\] not decided to fight, not settled to make (Herī) fort fast, there they sat, confounded, vague, uncertain what to do. Muḥammad Barandūq \_Barlās\_ was a knowledgeable man; he kept saying, "You let Muz̤affar Mīrzā and me make the fort fast; let Badī\`u´z-zamān Mīrzā and Ẕū´n-nūn Beg go into the mountains near Herī and gather in Sl. \`Alī \_Arghūn\_ from Sīstān and Zamīn-dāwar, Shāh Beg and Muqīm from Qandahār with all their armies, and let them collect also what there is of Nikdīrī and Hazāra force; this done, let them make a swift and telling move. The enemy would find it difficult to go into the mountains, and could not come against the (Herī) fort because \[Sidenote: Fol. 205.\] he would be afraid of the army outside." He said well, his plan was practical. - [Previous: 913.1.6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.913.1.6) - [Next: 913.1.8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.913.1.8) - [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.913.1.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.913.1.7) · Pramāṇa
