Beveridge) 936.1.8 - **Language:** English ### [936.1.8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.936.1.8) When the Mīrzā's intention to leave Qila\`-i-ẕafar became known there, the chiefs represented that they should not be able to withstand the Aūzbeg on their frontier without him (his troops implied).\[2700\] With this he agreed, said that still he must go, and that he would send a Mīrzā in his place as soon as possible. He then rode, in one day, to Kābul, an item of rapid travel preserved by Abū'l-faẓl. Humāyūn's departure caused such anxiety in Qila\`-i-ẕafar that some (if not all) of the Badakhshī chiefs hurried off an invitation to Sa\`īd Khān \_Chaghatāī\_, the then ruler in Kāshghar in whose service Ḥaidar Mīrzā was, to come at once and occupy the fort. They said that Faqīr-i-\`alī who had been left in charge, was not strong enough to cope with the Aūzbeg, begged Sa\`īd to come, and strengthened their petition by reminding him of his hereditary right to Badakhshān, derived from Shāh Begīm \_Badakhshī\_. Their urgency convincing the Khān that risk threatened the country, he started from Kāshghar in Muḥarram 936 AH. (Sept-Oct. 1529 AD.). On reaching Sārīgh-chūpān which by the annexation of Abā-bakr Mīrzā \_Dūghlāt\_ was now his own most western territory\[2701\] but which formerly was one of the upper districts of Badakhshān, he waited while Ḥaidar went on towards Qila\`-i-ẕafar only to learn on his road, that Hind-āl (\_æt.\_ 10) had been sent from Kābul by Humāyūn and had entered the fort 12 days before. - [Previous: 936.1.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.936.1.7) - [Next: 936.2.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.936.2.1) - [Up: 936.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.936.1) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.936.1.8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.936.1.8) · Pramāṇa
