Beveridge) 925.6.4 - **Language:** English ### [925.6.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.925.6.4) (\_March 26th\_) Marching on next day, we reached Bīgrām and went to see Gūr-khattrī. This is a smallish abode, after the fashion of a hermitage (\_ṣauma\`at\_), rather confined and dark. After entering at the door and going down a few steps, one must lie full length to get beyond. There is no getting in without a lamp. All round near the building there is let lie an enormous quantity of hair of the head and beard which men have shaved off there. There are a great many retreats (\_ḥujra\_) near Gūr-khattrī \[Sidenote: Fol. 233.\] like those of a rest-house or a college. In the year we came into Kābul (910 AH.) and over-ran Kohāt, Bannū and the plain, we made an excursion to Bīgrām, saw its great tree and were consumed with regret at not seeing Gūr-khattrī, but it does not seem a place to regret not-seeing.\[1439\] On this same day an excellent hawk of mine went astray out of Shaikhīm the head-falconer's charge; it had taken many cranes and storks and had moulted (\_tūlāb\_) two or three times. So many things did it take that it made a fowler of a person so little keen as I! At this place were bestowed 100 mis̤qāls of silver, clothing (\_tūnlūq\_), three bullocks and one buffalo, out of the offerings of Hindūstān, on each of six persons, the chiefs of the Dilazāk Afghāns under Malik Bū Khān and Malik Mūsa; to others, in their degree, were given money, pieces of cloth, a bullock and a buffalo. - [Previous: 925.6.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.925.6.3) - [Next: 925.6.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.925.6.5) - [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.925.6.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.925.6.4) · Pramāṇa
