Beveridge) 914.1 - **Language:** English ### [914.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.914.1) 914 AH.—MAY 2ND 1508 TO APRIL 21ST 1509 AD.\[1322\] This spring a body of Mahmand Afghāns was over-run near Muqur.\[1323\] (\_a. A Mughūl rebellion.\_) A few days after our return from that raid, Qūj Beg, Faqīr-i-\`alī, Karīm-dād and Bābā \_chuhra\_ were thinking about deserting, but their design becoming known, people were sent who took them below Astar-ghach. As good-for-nothing words of theirs had been reported to me, even during Jahāngīr M.'s life-time,\[1324\] I ordered that they should be put to death at the top of the \_bāzār\_. They had been taken to the place; the ropes had been fixed; and they were about to be hanged when Qāsim Beg sent Khalīfa to me with an urgent entreaty that I would pardon their offences. To please him I gave them their lives, but I ordered them kept in custody. What there was of Khusrau Shāh's retainers from Ḥiṣār and Qūndūz, together with the head-men of the Mughūls, Chilma, \[Sidenote: Fol. 216.\] \`Alī Sayyid,\[1325\] Sakma (?), Sher-qulī and Aīkū-sālam (?), and also Khusrau Shāh's favourite Chaghatāī retainers under Sl. \`Alī \_chuhra\_ and Khudabakhsh, with also 2 or 3000 serviceable Turkmān braves led by Sīūndūk and Shāh Naẕar,\[1326\] the whole of these, after consultation, took up a bad position towards me. They were all seated in front of Khwāja Riwāj, from the Sūng-qūrghān meadow to the Chālāk; \`Abdu'r-razzāq Mīrzā, come in from Nīng-nahār, being in Dih-i-afghān.\[1327\] - [Previous: 913.4.10](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.913.4.10) - [Next: 914.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.914.2) - [Up: 914](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.914) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.914.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.914.1) · Pramāṇa
