934.1.4

From Kanār one _kuroh_ (2 m.) was done by boat. (_Jan. 1st 1528 AD._) On Wednesday the 8th of the latter Rabī` we dismounted within a _kuroh_ of Kālpī. Bābā Sl. came to wait on me in this camp; he is a son of Khalīl Sl. who is a younger brother of the full-blood of Sl. Sa`īd Khān. Last [Sidenote: Fol. 332b.] year he fled from his elder brother[2184] but, repenting himself, went back from the Andar-āb border; when he neared Kāshghar, The Khān (Sa`īd) sent Ḥaidar M. to meet him and take him back. (_Jan. 2nd-Rabī` II. 9th_) Next day we dismounted at `Ālam Khān's house in Kālpī where he set Hindūstānī food before us and made an offering. (_Jan. 6th_) On Monday the 13th of the month we marched from Kālpī. (_Jan. 10th-Rabī` II. 17th_) On Friday we dismounted at Īrij.[2185] (_Jan. 11th_) On Saturday we dismounted at Bāndīr.[2186] (_Jan. 12th_) On Sunday the 19th of the month Chīn-tīmūr Sl. was put at the head of 6 or 7000 men and sent ahead against Chandīrī. With him went the begs Bāqī _mīng-bāshī_ (head of a thousand), Qūj Beg's (brother) Tardī Beg, `Āshiq the taster, Mullā Apāq, Muḥsin[2187] _Dūldāī_ and, of the Hindūstānī begs, Shaikh Gūran. (_Jan 17th_) On Friday the 24th of the month we dismounted near Kachwa. After encouraging its people, it was bestowed on the son of Badru'd-dīn.[2188]
