Beveridge) 932.4.2 - **Language:** English ### [932.4.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.932.4.2) The light troop we had sent out from Milwat (Malot), took Hurūr, Kahlūr and all the hill-forts of the neighbourhood—places to which because of their strength, no-one seemed to have gone for a long time—and came back to me after plundering a little. Came also \`Ālam Khān, on foot, ruined, stripped bare. We sent some of the begs to give him honourable meeting, sent horses too, and he waited (\_malāẓamat qīldī\_) in that \[Sidenote: Fol. 261b.\] neighbourhood.\[1648\] Raiders of ours went into the hills and valleys round-about, but after a few nights' absence, came back without anything to count. Shāh Mīr Ḥusain, Jān Beg and a few of the braves asked leave and went off for a raid. (\_p. Incidents of the march for Pānī-pat.\_) While we were in the (Jaswān) \_dūn\_, dutiful letters had come more than once from Ismā\`īl \_Jilwānī\_ and Biban; we replied to them from this place by royal letters such as their hearts desired. After we got out of the dale to Rūpar, it rained very much and became so cold that a mass of starved and naked Hindūstānīs died. When we had left Rūpar and were dismounted at Karal,\[1649\] opposite Sihrind, a Hindūstānī coming said, "I am Sl. Ibrāhīm's envoy," and though he had no letter or credentials, asked for an envoy from us. We responded at once by sending one or two Sawādī night-guards (\_tunqiṯār\_).\[1650\] These humble persons Ibrāhīm put in prison; they made their escape and came back to us on the very day we beat him. - [Previous: 932.4.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.932.4.1) - [Next: 932.4.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.932.4.3) - [Up: 932.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.932.4) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.932.4.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.932.4.2) · Pramāṇa
