Beveridge) 913.4.2 - **Language:** English ### [913.4.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.913.4.2) I made over to Qāsim Beg Muqīm's retainers in Qalāt, under \[Sidenote: Fol. 212b.\] Qūj \_Arghūn\_ and Tāju'd-dīn Maḥmūd, with their goods and effects. Qāsim Beg was a knowing person; he saw it unadvisable for us to stay long near Qandahār, so, by talking and talking, worrying and worrying, he got us to march off. As has been said, I had bestowed Qandahār on Nāṣir Mīrzā; he was given leave to go there; we started for Kābul. There had been no chance of portioning out the spoils while we were near Qandahār; it was done at Qarā-bāgh where we delayed two or three days. To count the coins being difficult, they were apportioned by weighing them in scales. Begs of all ranks, retainers and household (\_tābīn\_) loaded up ass-load after ass-load of sacks full of white \_tankas\_, and took them away for their own subsistence and the pay of their soldiers. We went back to Kābul with masses of goods and treasure, great honour and reputation. (\_o. Bābur's marriage with Ma\`ṣūma-sulṯān.\_) After this return to Kābul I concluded alliance (\_\`aqd qīldīm\_) with Sl. Aḥmad Mīrzā's daughter Ma\`ṣūma-sulṯān Begīm whom I had asked in marriage at Khurāsān, and had had brought from there. (\_p. Shaibāq Khān before Qandahār.\_) - [Previous: 913.4.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.913.4.1) - [Next: 913.4.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.913.4.3) - [Up: 913.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.913.4) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.913.4.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.913.4.2) · Pramāṇa
