Beveridge) 934.3.4 - **Language:** English ### [934.3.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.934.3.4) (\_March 21st\_) On Saturday the 29th of the latter Jumāda I visited Laknau, crossed the Gūī-water\[2237\] and dismounted. This day I bathed in the Gūī-water. Whether it was from water getting into my ear, or whether it was from the effect of the climate, is not known, but my right ear was obstructed and for a few days there was much pain.\[2238\] (\_r. The campaign continued.\_) One or two marches from Aūd (Oudh) some-one came from Chīn-tīmūr Sl. to say, "The enemy is seated on the far side of the river Sīrd\[a?\];\[2239\] let His Majesty send help." We detached a reinforcement of 1000 braves under Qarācha. (\_March 28th\_) On Saturday the 7th of Rajab we dismounted \[Sidenote: Fol. 338b.\] 2 or 3 \_kurohs\_ from Aūd above the junction of the Gagar (Gogra) and Sīrd\[a\]. Till today Shaikh Bāyazīd will have been on the other side of the Sīrd\[a\] opposite Aūd, sending letters to the Sulṯān and discussing with him, but the Sulṯān getting to know his deceitfulness, sent word to Qarācha at the Mid-day Prayer and made ready to cross the river. On Qarācha's joining him, they crossed at once to where were some 50 horsemen with 3 or 4 elephants. These men could make no stand; they fled; a few having been dismounted, the heads cut off were sent in. - [Previous: 934.3.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.934.3.3) - [Next: 934.3.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.934.3.5) - [Up: 934.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.934.3) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.934.3.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.934.3.4) · Pramāṇa
