935 AH.-SEP. 15TH 1528 TO SEP. 5TH 1529 AD.[2242] (_a. Arrivals at Court._) (_Sep. 18th_) On Friday the 3rd[2243] of Muḥarram, `Askarī whom I had summoned for the good of Multān[2244] before I moved out for Chandīrī, waited on me in the private-house.[2245] (_Sep. 19th_) Next day waited on me the historian Khwānd-amīr, Maulānā Shihāb[2246] the enigmatist, and Mīr Ibrāhīm the harper a relation of Yūnas-i-`alī, who had all come out of Herī long before, wishing to wait on me.[2247] (_b. Bābur starts for Gūālīār._)[2248] (_Sep. 20th_) With the intention of visiting Gūālīār which in books they write Gālīūr,[2249] I crossed the Jūn at the Other Prayer of Sunday the 5th of the month, went into the fort of Āgra to bid farewell to Fakhr-i-jahān Begīm and Khadīja-sulṯān Begīm who were to start for Kābul in a few days, and got to horse. Muḥammad-i-zamān Mīrzā asked for leave and stayed behind in Āgra. That night we did 3 or 4 _kurohs_ (6-8 m.) of the road, dismounted near a large lake (_kūl_) and there slept.
