Towards the head of the boat there was a \_tālār\_\[1418\] on the flat top of which I sat with a few people, a few others sitting below. There was a sitting-place also at the tail of the boat; there Muḥammadī, Gadāī and Na\`man sat. \_\`Araq\_ was drunk till the Other Prayer when, disgusted by its bad flavour, by consent of those at the head of the boat, \_ma'jūn\_ was preferred. \[Sidenote: Fol. 227b.\] Those at the other end, knowing nothing about our \_ma'jūn\_ drank \_\`araq\_ right through. At the Bed-time Prayer we rode from the boat and got into camp late. - [Previous: 925.4.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.925.4.5) - [Next: 925.4.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.925.4.7) - [Up: 925.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.925.4) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.925.4.6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.925.4.6) · Pramāṇa
