Beveridge) 933.3.2 - **Language:** English ### [933.3.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.933.3.2) Tīngrī-bīrdī sends off Yār-i-\`alī and \`Abdu'l-laṯīf with a few effective braves, but before they reach Mīr Hamah's fort, Mullā Bābā has arrived there with his Aūzbegs; he had thought of a hand-to-hand fight (\_aūrūsh-mūrūsh\_), but he can do nothing. Mīr Hamah and his men joined Tīngrī-bīrdī's and came to Qūndūz. Bābā Shaikh's wound must have been severe; they cut his head off and Mīr Hamah brought \[Sidenote: Fol. 309.\] it (to Āgra) in these same days of respite. I uplifted his head with favour and kindness, distinguishing him amongst his fellows and equals. When Bāqī \_shaghāwal\_ went \[to Balkh\]\[2000\] I promised him a \_ser\_ of gold for the head of each of the ill-conditioned old couple; one \_ser\_ of gold was now given to Mīr Hamah for Bābā Shaikh's head, over and above the favours referred to above.\[2001\] (\_k. Action of part of the Bīāna reinforcement.\_) Qismatī who had ridden light for Bīāna, brought back several heads he had cut off; when he and Būjka had gone with a few braves to get news, they had beaten two of the Pagan's scouting-parties and had made 70 to 80 prisoners. Qismatī brought news that Ḥasan Khān \_Mīwātī\_ really had joined Rānā Sangā. (\_l. Trial-test of the large mortar of f. 302.\_) - [Previous: 933.3.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.933.3.1) - [Next: 933.3.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.933.3.3) - [Up: 933.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.933.3) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.933.3.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.933.3.2) · Pramāṇa
