Beveridge) 933.3.4 - **Language:** English ### [933.3.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.933.3.4) Into this same camp came the news that owing to Rānā Sangā's swift advance with all his army,\[2003\] our scouts were able neither to get into the fort (Bīāna) themselves nor to send news into it. The Bīāna garrison made a rather incautious sally too far out; the enemy fell on them in some force and put them to rout.\[2004\] There Sangur Khān \_Janjūha\_ became a martyr. Kitta Beg had galloped into the pell-mell without his cuirass; he got one pagan afoot (\_yāyāglātīb\_) and was overcoming him, when the pagan snatched a sword from one of Kitta Beg's own servants and slashed the Beg across the shoulder. Kitta Beg suffered great pain; he could not come into the Holy-battle with Rānā Sangā, was long in recovering and always remained blemished. Whether because they were themselves afraid, or whether to frighten others is not known but Qismatī, Shāh Manṣūr \_Barlās\_ and all from Bīāna praised and lauded the fierceness and valour of the pagan army. Qāsim Master-of-the-horse was sent from the starting-ground (\_safar qīlghān yūrt\_) with his spadesmen, to dig many wells where the army was next to dismount in the Madhākūr \_pargana\_. - [Previous: 933.3.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.933.3.3) - [Next: 933.3.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.933.3.5) - [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.933.3.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.933.3.4) · Pramāṇa
