We dismounted near Bīgrām (Peshāwar); and next morning, the camp remaining on that same ground, rode to Karg-awī.\[1594\] We crossed the Siyāh-āb in front of Bīgrām, and formed our hunting-circle looking down-stream. After a little, a person brought word that there was a rhino in a bit of jungle near Bīgrām, and that people had been stationed near-about it. We betook ourselves, loose rein, to the place, formed a ring round the jungle, made a noise, and brought the rhino out, when it took its way across the plain. Humāyūn and those come with him from that side (Tramontana), who had never seen one before, were much entertained. It was pursued for two miles; many arrows were shot at it; it was brought down without having made a good set at man or horse. Two others were killed. I had often wondered how a rhino and an elephant would behave if brought face to face; this time one came out right in front of some elephants the mahauts were bringing along; it did not face them \[Sidenote: Fol. 254.\] when the mahauts drove them towards it, but got off in another direction.

Preparations for ferrying the Indus.\_\[1595\]) - [Previous: 932.1.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.932.1.5) - [Next: 932.1.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.932.1.7) - [Up: 932.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.932.1) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.932.1.6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.932.1.6) · Pramāṇa
