Beveridge) 935.8.7 - **Language:** English ### [935.8.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.935.8.7) (\_March 20th\_) Marching on (\_Sunday 10th\_), we did 6 \_kurohs\_ of road, and dismounted at Kintit.\[2532\] (\_March 21st\_) Marching on (\_Monday 11th\_), we dismounted at Nānāpur.\[2533\] Tāj Khān \_Sārang-khānī\_ came from Chunār to this ground with his two young sons, and waited on me. In these days a dutiful letter came from Pay-master Sl. Muḥammad, saying that my family and train were understood to be really on their way from Kābul.\[2534\] (\_March 23rd\_) On Wednesday (\_13th\_) we marched from that ground. I visited the fort of Chunār, and dismounted about one \_kuroh\_ beyond it. During the days we were marching from Pīāg, painful boils had come out on my body. While we were on this ground, an Ottoman Turk (Rūmī) used a remedy which had been recently discovered in Rūm. He boiled pepper in a pipkin; I held the sores in the steam and, after steaming ceased, laved them with the hot water. The treatment lasted 2 sidereal hours. While we were on this ground, a person said he had seen tiger and rhinoceros on an \_ārāl\_\[2535\] by the side of the camp. (\_March 24th\_?) In the morning (\_14th\_?), we made the hunting-circle\[2536\] \[Sidenote: Fol. 364b.\] on that \_ārāl\_, elephants also being brought. Neither tiger nor rhino appeared; one wild buffalo came out at the end of the line. A bitter wind rising and the whirling dust being very troublesome, I went back to the boat and in it to the camp which was 2 \_kurohs\_ (4m.) above Banāras. - [Previous: 935.8.6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.935.8.6) - [Next: 935.9.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.935.9.1) - [Up: 935.8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.935.8) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.935.8.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.935.8.7) · Pramāṇa
