These particulars having been written down, Ghīāṣu'd-dīn the \[Sidenote: Fol. 350b.\] armourer was given rendezvous for 16 days,\[2366\] and sent galloping off, on Saturday the 22nd of the month, to the amīrs of the East headed by Sl. Junaid \_Barlās\_. His word-of-mouth message was, that \`Askarī was being sent on before the fighting apparatus, culverin, cart and matchlock, was ready; that it was the royal order for the sulṯāns and amīrs of the far side of Gang to muster in \`Askarī's presence, and, after consultation with well-wishers on that side, to move in whatever direction, God willing! might favour fortune; that if there should be work needing me, please God! I would get to horse as soon as the person gone with the (16 days) tryst (\_mī\`ād\_) had returned; that explicit representation should be made as to whether the Bengali (Nas̤rat Shāh) were friendly and single-minded; that, if nothing needed my presence in those parts, I should not make stay, but should move elsewhere at once;\[2367\] and that after consulting with well-wishers, they were to take \`Askarī with them, and, God willing! settle matters on that side. (\_Here the record of 5 days is wanting.\_) (\_z. \`Askarī receives the insignia and rank of a royal commander.\_) - [Previous: 935.4.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.935.4.4) - [Next: 935.4.6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.935.4.6) - [Up: 935.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.935.4) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.935.4.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.935.4.5) · Pramāṇa
