Beveridge) 926.1.6 - **Language:** English ### [926.1.6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.926.1.6) At a bad place in mid-stream the raft struck with a great shock; there was much alarm; it did not sink but Mīr Muḥammad the raftsman was thrown into the water. We were near Atar that night. (\_Jan. 17th\_) On Tuesday (25th) we reached Mandrāwar.\[1539\] Qūtlūq-qadam and his father had arranged a party inside the fort; though the place had no charm, a few cups were drunk there to please them. We went to camp at the Other Prayer. (\_Jan. 18th\_) On Wednesday (26th) an excursion was made to Kind-kir\[1540\] spring. Kind-kir is a dependent village of the Mandrāwar \_tūmān\_, the one and only village of the Lamghānāt \[Sidenote: Fol. 251.\] where dates are grown. It lies rather high on the mountain-skirt, its date lands on its east side. At one edge of the date lands is the spring, in a place aside (\_yān yīr\_). Six or seven yards below the spring-head people have heaped up stones to make a shelter\[1541\] for bathing and by so-doing have raised the water in the reservoir high enough for it to pour over the heads of the bathers. The water is very soft; it is felt a little cold in wintry days but is pleasant if one stays in it. (\_Jan. 19th\_) On Thursday (27th) Sher Khān \_Tarkalānī\_ got us to dismount at his house and there gave us a feast (\_ẓiyāfat\_). Having ridden on at the Mid-day Prayer, fish were taken out of the fish-ponds of which particulars have been given.\[1542\] (\_Jan. 20th\_) On Friday (28th) we dismounted near Khwāja Mīr-i-mīrān's village. A party was held there at the Evening Prayer. - [Previous: 926.1.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.926.1.5) - [Next: 926.1.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.926.1.7) - [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.926.1.6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.926.1.6) · Pramāṇa
