Beveridge) 932.12.2 - **Language:** English ### [932.12.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.932.12.2) The (Sans.) \_tāṛ\_ (\_Borassus flabelliformis\_, the Palmyra-palm) is another. Its branches (\_i.e.\_ leaves) also are quite at its top. Just as \[Sidenote: Fol. 286.\] with the date-palm, people hang a pot on it, take its juice and drink it. They call this liquor \_tāṛī\_;\[1869\] it is said to be more exhilarating than date liquor. For about a yard along its branches (\_i.e.\_ leaf-stems)\[1870\] there are no leaves; above this, at the tip of the branch (stem), 30 or 40 open out like the spread palm of the hand, all from one place. These leaves approach a yard in length. People often write Hindī characters on them after the fashion of account rolls (\_daftar yūsūnlūq\_). - [Previous: 932.12.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.932.12.1) - [Next: 932.12.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.932.12.3) - [Up: 932.12](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.932.12) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.932.12.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.932.12.2) · Pramāṇa
