Beveridge) 932.5.7 - **Language:** English ### [932.5.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.932.5.7) \`Abdu'l-'azīz the Master of the Horse was posted as the reserve. For the turning-party (\_tūlghuma\_) at the point of the right wing,\[1675\] we fixed on Red Walī and Malik Qāsim (brother) of Bābā \_Qashqa\_, with their Mughūls; for the turning-party at the point of the left wing, we arrayed Qarā-qūzī, Abū'l-muḥammad the lance-player, Shaikh Jamāl \_Bārīn's\_ Shaikh \`Alī, Mahndī(?) and Tīngrī-bīrdī \_Bashaghī\_(?) \_Mughūl\_; these two parties, directly the enemy got near, were to turn his rear, one from the right, the other from the left. \[Sidenote: Fol. 266b.\] When the dark mass of the enemy first came in sight, he seemed to incline towards our right; \`Abdu'l-\`azīz, who was the right-reserve, was sent therefore to reinforce the right. From the time that Sl. Ibrāhīm's blackness first appeared, he moved swiftly, straight for us, without a check, until he saw the dark mass of our men, when his pulled up and, observing our formation and array,\[1676\] made as if asking, "To stand or not? To advance or not?" They could not stand; nor could they make their former swift advance. - [Previous: 932.5.6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.932.5.6) - [Next: 932.5.8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.932.5.8) - [Up: 932.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.932.5) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.932.5.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.932.5.7) · Pramāṇa
