The Rauzat-us-Safa \[De la Croix’s Mirconde, meant for Mir Khawind\] does not mention at all; and the Chingiz Khan is made to advance from Tal-kan \[the correct name is given\], but, to show his geographical knowledge, probably, the author says he came by Andar-ab to Bamian, by which the Mughals must have gone only 7 degrees of Long.—some 480 miles—directly from W. to E. to reach Andar-ab, then come backwards some 120 or 130 miles more to the S.W. to reach Bamian through some of the most difficult ground in Asia, while between Tal-kan and Bamian the distance is only about 160 miles, and about equidistant from Marw-ar-Rud and Balkh. The Habib-us-Siyar, written by the son of the author of the Rauzat-us-Safa, agrees with that work. - [Previous: 261.2.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.261.2.3) - [Next: 261.2.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.261.2.5) - [Up: 261.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.261.2) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.261.2.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.261.2.4) · Pramāṇa
