926.1.2
(_Jan. 1st_) On Monday (10th) we rode on intending to visit Lamghān.[1528] I had expected Humāyūn to go with us, but as he inclined to stay behind, leave was given him from Kūra-pass. We went on and dismounted in Badr-aū (Tag-aū). (_b. Excursions in Lamghān._) (_Jan. ..._) Riding on, we dismounted at Aūlūgh-nūr.[1529] The fishermen there took fish at one draught[1530] from the water of Bārān. At the Other Prayer (afternoon) there was drinking on the raft; and there was drinking in a tent after we left the raft at the Evening Prayer. Ḥaidar the standard-bearer had been sent from Dāwar[1531] to the Kāfirs; several Kāfir headmen came now to the foot of Bād-i-pīch (pass), brought a few goat-skins of wine, and did obeisance. In descending that pass a surprising number of ...[1532] was seen. (_Jan. ..._) Next day getting on a raft, we ate a confection, got off below Būlān and went to camp. There were two rafts. (_Jan. 5th_) Marching on Friday (14th), we dismounted below Mandrāwar on the hill-skirt. There was a late wine-party.
