Beveridge) 925.6.3 - **Language:** English ### [925.6.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.925.6.3) (\_March 25th\_) We marched from that ground at dawn. At one place on the road a tiger came out and roared. On hearing it, the horses, willy-nilly, flung off in terror, carrying their riders in all directions, and dashing into ravines and hollows. The tiger went again into the jungle. To bring it out, we ordered a buffalo brought and put on the edge of the jungle. The tiger again came out roaring. Arrows were shot at it from all sides\[1437\]; I shot with the rest. Khalwī (var. Khalwā) a foot-soldier, pricked it with a spear; it bit the spear and broke off the spearhead. After tasting of those arrows, it went into the bushes (\_būta\_) and stayed there. Bābā the waiting-man \[\_yasāwal\_\] went with drawn sword close up to it; it sprang; he chopped at its head; \`Alī \_Sīstānī\_\[1438\] chopped at its loins; it plunged into the river and was killed right in the water. It was got out and ordered to be skinned. - [Previous: 925.6.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.925.6.2) - [Next: 925.6.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.925.6.4) - [Up: 925.6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.925.6) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.925.6.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.925.6.3) · Pramāṇa
