Beveridge) 925.3.2 - **Language:** English ### [925.3.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.925.3.2) (\_Feb. 18th\_) Marching on next day, we crossed the Kacha-kot-water; noon returning, went through the Sangdakī-pass and dismounted. While Sayyid Qāsim Lord of the Gate was \[Sidenote: Fol. 223.\] in charge of the rear (\_chāghdāwal\_) he overcame a few Gujūrs who had got up with the rear march, cut off and brought in 4 or 5 of their heads. (\_Feb. 19th\_) Marching thence at dawn and crossing the Sūhān-water, we dismounted at the Mid-day Prayer. Those behind kept coming in till midnight; the march had been mightily long, and, as many horses were weak and out-of-condition, a great number were left on the road. (\_i. The Salt-range.\_) Fourteen miles (\_7 kos\_) north of Bhīra lies the mountain-range written of in the \_Z̤afar-nāma\_ and other books as the Koh-i-jūd.\[1399\] I had not known why it was called this; I now knew. On it dwell two tribes, descendants from one parent-source, one is called Jūd, the other Janjūha. These two from of old have been the rulers and lawful commanders of the peoples and hordes (\_aūlūs\_) of the range and of the country between Bhīra and Nīl-āb. Their rule is friendly and brotherly however; they cannot take what their hearts might desire; the portion ancient custom has fixed is given and taken, no less and no more. The agreement is to give one \_shāhrukhī\_\[1400\] for each yoke of oxen and seven for headship in a household; there is also service in the army. The Jūd and Janjūha both are divided into several clans. - [Previous: 925.3.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.925.3.1) - [Next: 925.3.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.925.3.3) - [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.925.3.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.925.3.2) · Pramāṇa
