Excursion to the Koh-dāman and Kohistān.\_) (\_Dec. 23rd\_) On Saturday Muḥarram 1st Khwāja Sih-yārān was reached. A wine-party was had on the bank of the conduit, where this comes out on the hill.\[1523\] (\_Dec. 24th\_) Riding on next morning (2nd), we visited the moving sands (\_reg-i-rawān\_). A party was held in Sayyid Qāsim's \_Bulbul's\_ house.\[1524\] (\_Dec. 25th\_) Riding on from there, we ate a confection (\_ma'jūn\_), went further and dismounted at Bilkir (?). (\_Dec. 26th\_) At dawn (4th) we made our morning \[\_ṣubāḥī ṣubūḥī qīldūk\_\], although there might be drinking at night. We rode on at the Mid-day Prayer, dismounted at Dūr-nāma\[1525\] and there had a wine party. (\_Dec. 27th\_) We took our morning early. Ḥaq-dād, the headman of Dūr-namā made me an offering (\_pesh-kash\_) of his garden. (\_Dec. 28th\_) Riding thence on Thursday (6th), we dismounted at the villages of the Tājiks in Nijr-aū. (\_Dec. 29th\_) On Friday (7th) we hunted the hill between Forty-ploughs (\_Chihil-qulba\_) and the water of Bārān; many deer fell. \[Sidenote: Fol. 249.\] I had not shot an arrow since my hand was hurt; now, with an easy\[1526\] bow, I shot a deer in the shoulder, the arrow going in to half up the feather. Returning from hunting, we went on at the Other Prayer in Nijr-aū. (\_Dec. 30th\_) Next day (Saturday 8th) the tribute of the Nijr-aū people was fixed at 60 gold mis̤qāls.\[1527\] - [Previous: 925.11.6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.925.11.6) - [Next: 926.1.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.926.1.2) - [Up: 926.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.926.1) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.926.1.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.926.1.1) · Pramāṇa
