It was discharged at the Afternoon Prayer; the throw of the stone was 1600 paces. A gift was made to the Master of a sword-belt, robe of honour, and \_tīpūchāq\_ (horse). (\_m. Bābur leaves Āgra against Rānā Sangā.\_) (\_Feb. 11th\_) On Monday the 9th of the first Jumāda, we got out of the suburbs of Āgra, on our journey (\_safar\_) for the Holy War, and dismounted in the open country, where we remained three or four days to collect our army and be its rallying-point.\[2002\] As little confidence was placed in Hindūstānī people, the Hindūstān amīrs were inscribed for expeditions to this or to that side:—\`Ālam Khān (\_Tahangarī\_) was sent hastily to Gūālīār to \[Sidenote: Fol. 309b.\] reinforce Raḥīm-dād; Makan, Qāsim Beg \_Sanbalī\_ (\_Saṃbhalī\_), Ḥamīd with his elder and younger brethren and Muḥammad \_Zaitūn\_ were inscribed to go swiftly to Sanbal.
