Beveridge) 934.2.7 - **Language:** English ### [934.2.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.934.2.7) Muṣṯafa \_Rūmī\_ had the culverin-carts crossed over to an island below the place for the bridge, and from that island began a culverin-discharge. Excellent matchlock fire was made from a post\[2228\] raised above the bridge. Malik Qāsim \_Mughūl\_ and a very few men went across the river once or twice and fought excellently (\_yakhshīlār aūrūshtīlār\_). With equal boldness Bābā Sl. and Darwīsh Sl. also crossed, but went with the insufficient number of from 10 to 15 men; they went after the Evening Prayer and came back without fighting, with nothing done; they were much blamed for this crossing of theirs. At last Malik Qāsim, grown bold, attacked the enemy's camp and, by shooting arrows into it, drew him out (?);\[2229\] he came with a mass of men and an elephant, fell on Malik Qāsim and hurried him off. Malik Qāsim got into a boat, but before it could put off, the elephant \[Sidenote: Fol. 337.\] came up and swamped it. In that encounter Malik Qāsim died. - [Previous: 934.2.6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.934.2.6) - [Next: 934.2.8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.934.2.8) - [Up: 934.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.934.2) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.934.2.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.934.2.7) · Pramāṇa
