Beveridge) 925.3.1 - **Language:** English ### [925.3.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.925.3.1) (\_Feb. 16th\_) After starting off the camp for the river, I went to hunt rhinoceros on the Sawātī side which place people call also Karg-khāna (Rhino-home).\[1396\] A few were discovered but the jungle was dense and they did not come out of it. When one with a calf came into the open and betook itself to flight, many arrows were shot at it and it rushed into the near jungle; the jungle was fired but that same rhino was not had. Another calf was killed as it lay, scorched by the fire, writhing and palpitating. Each person took a share of the spoil. After leaving Sawātī, we wandered about a good deal; it was the Bed-time Prayer when we got to camp. Those sent to examine the ford came back after doing it. (\_Feb. 17th\_) Next day, Thursday the 16th,\[1397\] the horses and baggage-camels crossed through the ford and the camp-bazar and foot-soldiers were put over on rafts. Some Nīl-ābīs came and saw me at the ford-head (\_guẕar-bāshī\_), bringing a horse in mail and 300 \_shāhrukhīs\_ as an offering. At the Mid-day Prayer of this same day, when every-one had crossed the river, we marched on; we went on until one watch of the night had passed (\_circa\_ 9 p.m.) when we dismounted near the water of Kacha-kot.\[1398\] - [Previous: 925.2.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.925.2.7) - [Next: 925.3.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.925.3.2) - [Up: 925.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.925.3) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.925.3.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.925.3.1) · Pramāṇa
