(_Sunday March 15th-Jumāda II. 23rd_) On this day the carts were taken over, and at this same dawn the army was ordered to cross. At beat of drum news came from our scouts that the enemy had fled. Chīn-tīmūr Sl. was ordered to lead his army in pursuit and the following leaders also were made pursuers who should move with the Sulṯān and not go beyond his word:—Muḥammad `Alī _Jang-jang_, Ḥusamu'd-dīn `Alī (son) of Khalīfa, Muḥibb-i-`alī (son) of Khalīfa, Kūkī (son) of Bābā Qashqa, Dost-i-muḥammad (son) of Bābā Qashqa, Bāqī of [Sidenote: Fol. 338.] Tāshkīnt, and Red Walī. I crossed at the Sunnat Prayer. The camels were ordered to be taken over at a passage seen lower down. That Sunday we dismounted on the bank of standing-water within a _kuroh_ of Bangarmāwū.[2236] Those appointed to pursue the Afghāns were not doing it well; they had dismounted in Bangarmāwū and were scurrying off at the Mid-day Prayer of this same Sunday. (_March 16th-Jumāda II. 24th_) At dawn we dismounted on the bank of a lake belonging to Bangarmāwū. (_q. Arrival of a Chaghatāī cousin._) On this same day (_March 16th_) Tūkhtā-būghā Sl. a son of my mother's brother (_dādā_) the Younger Khān (_Aḥmad Chaghatāī_) came and waited on me.
