Abandonment of the Hindūstān project.\_) As it was not found desirable to go on into Hindūstān, I sent Mullā Bābā of Pashāghar back to Kābul with a few braves. Meantime I marched from near Mandrāwar to Atar and Shīwa and lay there for a few days.

Shaibāq Khān retires from Qandahār.\_) In those same days Mullā Bābā of Farkat came from Nāṣir Mīrzā with news in detail that Shaibāq Khān, after taking the outer-fort of Qandahār, had not been able to take the citadel but had retired; also that the Mīrzā, on various accounts, had left Qandahār and gone to Ghaznī. - [Previous: 913.4.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.913.4.7) - [Next: 913.4.9](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.913.4.9) - [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.913.4.8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.913.4.8) · Pramāṇa
