Beveridge) 927.6 - **Language:** English ### [927.6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.927.6) There is much discrepancy between the dates of the two historians. Khwānd-amīr's agree with the few fixed ones of the period and with the course of events; several of Ma\`ṣūm's, on the contrary, are \_seriatim\_ five (lunar) years earlier. For instance, events Khwānd-amīr places under 927 AH. Ma\`ṣūm places under 922 AH. Again, while Ma\`ṣūm correctly gives 913 AH. (1507 AD.) as the year of Bābur's first capture of Qandahār, he sets up a discrepant series later, from the success Shāh Beg had at Kāhān; this he allots to 921 AH. (1515 AD.) whereas Bābur received news of it (f. 233\_b\_) in the beginning of 925 AH. (1519 AD.). Again, Ma\`ṣūm makes Shāh Ḥasan go to Bābur in 921 AH. and stay two years; but Ḥasan spent the whole of 925 AH. with Bābur and is not mentioned as having left before the second month of 926 AH. Again, Ma\`ṣūm makes Shāh Beg surrender the keys of Qandahār in 923 AH. (1517 AD.), but 928 AH. (1522 AD.) is shewn by Khwānd-amīr's dates and narrative, and is inscribed at Chihil-zīna.\[1554\] - [Previous: 927.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.927.5) - [Next: 928.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.928.1) - [Up: 927](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.927) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.927.6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.927.6) · Pramāṇa
