Beveridge) 925.2.4 - **Language:** English ### [925.2.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.925.2.4) (\_Feb. 6th\_) On Sunday the 5th of the month, we went from that ground to Bajaur where there was a drinking-party in Khwāja Kalān's house. (\_g. Expedition against the Afghān clans.\_) (\_Feb. 8th\_) On Tuesday the 7th of the month the begs and the Dilazāk Afghān headmen were summoned, and, after consultation, matters were left at this:—"The year is at its end,\[1388\] only a few days of the Fish are left; the plainsmen have carried in all their corn; if we went now into Sawād, the army would \[Sidenote: Fol. 221.\] dwindle through getting no corn. The thing to do is to march along the Aṃbahar and Pānī-mānī road, cross the Sawād-water above Hash-nagar, and surprise the Yūsuf-zāī and Muḥammadī Afghāns who are located in the plain over against the Yūsuf-zāī \_sangur\_ of Māhūrā. Another year, coming earlier in the harvest-time, the Afghāns of this place must be our first thought." So the matter was left. (\_Feb. 9th\_) Next day, Wednesday, we bestowed horses and robes on Sl. Wais and Sl. \`Alā'u'u-dīn of Sawād, gave them leave to go, marched off ourselves and dismounted over against Bajaur. (\_Feb. 10th\_) We marched next day, leaving Shāh Manṣūr's daughter in Bajaur-fort until the return of the army. We dismounted after passing Khwāja Khiẓr, and from that camp leave was given to Khwāja Kalān; and the heavy baggage, the worn-out horses and superfluous effects of the army were started off into Lamghān by the Kūnār road. - [Previous: 925.2.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.925.2.3) - [Next: 925.2.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.925.2.5) - [Up: 925.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.925.2) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.925.2.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.925.2.4) · Pramāṇa
