Beveridge) 918.2 - **Language:** English ### [918.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.918.2) In Ṣafar (April-May) \`Ubaid moved swiftly down and attacked the Bukhārā neighbourhood. Bābur went from Samarkand to meet him. Several details of what followed, not given by Ḥaidar and, in one particular, contradicting him, are given by Khwānd-amīr. The statement in which the two historians contradict one another is Ḥaidar's that \`Ubaid had 3000 men only, Bābur 40,000. Several considerations give to Khwānd-amīr's opposed statement that Bābur's force was small, the semblance of being nearer the fact. Ḥaidar, it may be said, did not go out on this campaign; he was ill in Samarkand and continued ill there for some time; Khwānd-amīr's details have the well-informed air of things learned at first-hand, perhaps from some-one in Hindūstān after 934 AH. - [Previous: 918.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.918.1) - [Next: 918.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.918.3) - [Up: 918](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.918) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.918.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.918.2) · Pramāṇa
