Beveridge) 935.7.7 - **Language:** English ### [935.7.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.935.7.7) Today we set Ṣādiq to wrestle with Kalāl who had come to \[Sidenote: Fol. 362.\] Āgra with a challenge.\[2500\] In Āgra he had asked respite for 20 days on the plea of fatigue from his journey; as now 40-50 days had passed since the end of his respite, he was obliged to wrestle. Ṣādiq did very well, throwing him easily. Ṣādiq was given 10,000 \_tankas\_, a saddled horse, a head-to-foot, and a jacket with buttons; while Kalāl, to save him from despair, was given 3000 \_tankas\_, spite of his fall. The carts and mortar were ordered landed from the boats, and we spent 3 or 4 days on this same ground while the road was made ready, the ground levelled and the landing effected. (\_Feb. 21st\_) On Monday the 12th of the month (\_Jumāda II.\_), we did 12 \_kurohs\_ (24 m.) and dismounted at Kūrarah.\[2501\] Today I travelled by litter. (\_Feb. 22nd-25th\_) After marching 12 \_kurohs\_ (24 m.) from Kūrarah (\_13th\_), we dismounted in Kūrīa\[2502\] a \_pargana\_ of Karrah. From Kūrīa we marched 8 \_kurohs\_ (16m.) and dismounted (\_14th\_) in Fatḥpūr-Aswa.\[2503\] After 8 \_kurohs\_ (16m.) done from Fatḥpūr, we dismounted (\_15th\_) at Sarāī Munda.\[2504\]... Today at the Bedtime Prayer (\_Friday 16th\_, \_after dark\_), Sl. Jalālu'd-dīn (\_Sharqī\_)\[2505\] came with his two young sons to wait on me. - [Previous: 935.7.6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.935.7.6) - [Next: 935.8.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.935.8.1) - [Up: 935.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.935.7) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.935.7.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.935.7.7) · Pramāṇa
