Beveridge) 925.2.5 - **Language:** English ### [925.2.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.925.2.5) (\_Feb. 11th\_) Next morning Khwāja Mīr-i-mīrān was put in charge of the camel baggage-train and started off by the Qūrghā-tū and Darwāza road, through the Qarā-kūpa-pass. Riding light for the raid, we ourselves crossed the Ambahar-pass, and yet another great pass, and dismounted at Pānī-mālī nearer\[1389\] the Afternoon Prayer. Aūghān-bīrdī was sent forward with a few others to learn\[1390\] how things were. (\_Feb. 12th\_) The distance between us and the Afghāns being short, we did not make an early start. Aūghān-bīrdī came back at breakfast-time.\[1391\] He had got the better of an Afghān and had cut his head off, but had dropped it on the road. He \[Sidenote: Fol. 221b.\] brought no news so sure as the heart asks (\_kūnkūl-tīladīk\_). Midday come, we marched on, crossed the Sawād-water, and dismounted nearer\[1392\] the Afternoon Prayer. At the Bed-time Prayer, we remounted and rode swiftly on. (\_Feb. 13th\_) Rustam \_Turkmān\_ had been sent scouting; when the Sun was spear-high he brought word that the Afghāns had heard about us and were shifting about, one body of them making off by the mountain-road. On this we moved the faster, sending raiders on ahead who killed a few, cut off their heads and brought a band of prisoners, some cattle and flocks. The Dilazāk Afghāns also cut off and brought in a few heads. Turning back, we dismounted near Kātlāng and from there sent a guide to meet the baggage-train under Khwāja Mīr-i-mīrān and bring it to join us in Maqām.\[1393\] - [Previous: 925.2.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.925.2.4) - [Next: 925.2.6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.925.2.6) - [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.925.2.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.925.2.5) · Pramāṇa
