At the Mid-day Prayer we rode on, leaving the baggage behind, reached the Kābul-water at the second watch (midnight) and there slept awhile. (\_Sep. 29th\_) A ford\[1501\] was found at daylight; we had forded the water (\_sū-dīn kīchīldī\_), when news came from our scout that the Afghāns had heard of us and were in flight. We went on, passed through the Sawād-water and dismounted amongst the Afghān corn-fields. Not a half, not a fourth indeed of the promised corn was had. The plan of fitting-up Hash-naghar, made under the hope of getting corn here, came to nothing. \[Sidenote: Fol. 244.\] The Dilazāk Afghāns, who had urged it on us, were ashamed. We next dismounted after fording the water of Sawād to its Kābul side. (\_Sep. 30th\_) Marching next morning from the Sawād-water, we crossed the Kābul-water and dismounted. The Begs admitted to counsel were summoned and a consultation having been had, the matter was left at this:—that the Afrīdī Afghāns spoken of by Sl. Bāyazīd should be over-run, Pūrshāwūr-fort be fitted up on the strength of their goods and corn, and some-one left there in charge. - [Previous: 925.10.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.925.10.1) - [Next: 925.10.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.925.10.3) - [Up: 925.10](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.925.10) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.925.10.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.925.10.2) · Pramāṇa
