ADDITIONAL NOTES

P. 16 l. 11.—Niẕāmī mentions "lover's marks" where a rebel chieftain

commenting on Khusrau's unfitness to rule by reason of his

infatuation for Shīrīn, says, "_Hinoz az`āshīqbāzī garm dāgh ast._"

(H.B.)

P. 22 n. 2.—Closer acquaintance with related books leads me to delete

the words "Chaghatāī Mughūl" from Ḥaidar _Dūghlāt's_ tribal

designations (p. 22, n. 2, l. 1). (1) My "Chaghatāī" had warrant (now

rejected) in Ḥaidar's statement (T.R. trs. p. 3) that the Dūghlāt

amirs were of the same stock (_abna`-i-jins_) as the Chaghatāī

Khāqāns. But the Dūghlāt off-take from the common stem was of earlier

date than Chīngīz Khān's, hence, his son's name "Chaghatāī" is a

misnomer for Dūghlāts. (2) As for "Mūghūl" to designate Dūghlāt, and

also Chaghatāī chiefs—guidance for us rests with the chiefs

themselves; these certainly (as did also the Begchīk chiefs) held

themselves apart from "Mughūls of the horde" and begs of the horde—as

apart they had become by status as chiefs, by intermarriage, by

education, and by observance of the amenities of civilized life. To

describe Dūghlāt, Chaghatāī and Begchīk chiefs in Bābur's day as

Mughūls is against their self-classification and is a discourtesy. A

clear instance of need of caution in the use of the word Mughūl is

that of `Alī-sher _Nawā'ī Chaghatāī_. (Cf. Abū'l-ghāzī's accounts of

the formation of several tribes.) (3) That "Mughūl" described for

Hindustānis Bābur's invading and conquering armies does not

obliterate distinctions in its chiefs. Mughūls of the horde followed

Tīmūrids when to do so suited them; there were also in Bābur's armies

several chiefs of the ruling Chaghatāī family, brothers of The Khān,

Sa`īd (_see_ Chīn-tīmūr, Aīsan-tīmūr, Tūkhta-būghā). With these must

have been their following of "Mughūls of the horde".

P. 34 l. 12.—"With the goshawks" translates _qīrchīgha bīla_ of the

Elph. MS. (f. 12_b_) where it is explained marginally by _ba bāzī_,

with the falcon or goshawk. The Ḥai. MS. however has, in its text,

_pīāzī bīla_ which may mean with arrows having points (_Sanglākh_ f.

144_b_ quoting this passage). Ilminski has no answering word (_Méms._

i, 19). Muḥ. _Shirāzī_ [p. 13 l. 11 fr. ft.] writes _ba bāzī

mīandākhtan_.

P. 39.—The _Ḥabību's-siyar_ (lith. ed. iii, 217 l. 16) writes of

Sayyid Murād _Āūghlāqchī_ (the father or g.f. of Yūsuf) that he (who

had, Bābur says, come from the Mughūl horde) held high rank under

Abū-sa`īd Mīrzā, joined Ḥusian _Bāī-qarā_ after the Mīrzā's defeat

and death (873 A.H.), and (p. 218) was killed in defeat by Amīr `Alī

_Jalāīr_ who was commanding for Yādgār-i-muḥammad _Shāh-rukhī_.

P. 49.—An _Aīmāq_ is a division of persons and not of territory. In

Mongolia under the Chinese Government it answers to khanate. A Khān

is at the head of an _aīmāq_. Aīmāqs are divided into _koshung_,

_i.e._ banners (_Mongolia_, N. Prejevalsky trs. E. Delmar Morgan, ii,

53).

P. 75 and n. 1.—For an explanation, provided in 94 AH., of why

Samarkand was called _Baldat-i-maḥfūẓa_, the Guarded-city, see

Daulat-shāh, Browne's ed. _s.n._ Qulaiba p. 443.

P. 85 n. 2.—The reference to the _Ḥabību's-siyar_ confuses two

cases of parricide:—`Abdu'l-laṯīf's of Aulugh Beg (853-1447) to which

Ḥ.S. refers [Vol. III, Part 2, p. 163, l. 13 fr. ft.] with (one of

7-628) Shīrūya's of Khusrau Parvīz (Ḥ.S. Vol. I, Part 2, p. 44, l. 11

fr. ft.) where the parricide's sister tells him that the murderer of

his father (and 15 brothers) would eventually be punished by God, and

(a little lower) the couplet Bābur quotes (p. 85) is entered (H.B.).

P. 154 n. 3.—The Persian phrase in the _Siyāsat-nāma_ which describes

the numbering of the army (T. _dīm kūrmāk_) is _ba sar-i-tāzīāna

shumurdan_. Schafer translates _tāzīāna_ by _cravache_. I have

nowhere found how the whip was used; (cf. S.N. Pers. text p. 15 l.

5).

P. 171 n. 1.—Closer acquaintance with Bābur's use of _daryā_, _rūd_,

_sū_, the first of which he reserves for a great river, casts doubt

on my suggestion that _daryā_ may stand for the Kāsān-water. But the

narrative supports what I have noted. The "upper villages" of Akhsī

might be, however, those higher up on the Saiḥūn-daryā (Sīr-daryā).

P. 189 and n. 1.—A third and perhaps here better rendering of _bī

bāqī_ is that of p. 662 (_s.d._ April 10th), "leaving none behind."

P. 196.—The _Habību's-siyar_ (lith. ed. iii, 250 l. 11 fr. ft.)

writes of _barādarān_ of Khusrau Shāh, Amīr Walī and Pīr Walī. As it

is improbable that two brothers (Anglicé) would be called Walī, it

may be right to translate _barādarān_ by brethren, and to understand

a brother and a cousin. Bābur mentions only the brother Walī.

P. 223 ll. 1-3 fr. ft.—The French translation, differing from

`Abdu'r-rahim's and Erskine's, reads Bābur as saying of the ranges

separating the cultivated lands of Kabul, that they are _comme des

ponts de trèfle_, but this does not suit the height and sometimes

permanent snows of some of the separating ranges.—My bald "(great)

dams" should have been expanded to suit the meaning (as I take it to

be) of the words _Yūr-ūnchaqā pul-dik_, like embankments (_pul_)

against going (_yūr_) further; (so far, _ūncha_). Cf. Griffiths'

_Journal_, p. 431.

P. 251.—Niẕāmī expresses the opinion that "Fate is an avenging

servitor" but not in the words used by Bābur (p. 251). He does this

when moralizing on Farhad's death, brought about by Khusrau's trick

and casting the doer into dread of vengeance (H. B.).

P. 266 n. 7.—On p. 266 Bābur allots three daughters to Pāpā Aghācha

and on p. 269 four. Various details make for four. But, if four, the

total of eleven (p. 261) is exceeded.

P. 276 para. 3.—Attention is attracted on this page to the unusual

circumstance that a parent and child are both called by the same

name, Junaid. One other instance is found in the _Bābur-nāma_, that

of Bābur's wife Ma`ṣuma and her daughter. Perhaps "Junaid" like

"Ma`ṣūma" was the name given to the child because birth closely

followed the death of the parent (_see_ _s.n._ Ma`ṣūma).

P. 277.—Concerning Bih-būd Beg the _Shaībānī-nāma_ gives the

following information:—he was in command in Khwārizm and Khīva when

Shaibānī moved against Chīn _Ṣūfī_ (910 AH.), and spite of his name,

was unpopular (Vambéry's ed. 184, 186). Vambéry's note 88 says he is

mentioned in the (anonymous) prose _Shaibānī-nāma_, Russian trs. p.

lxi.

P. 372 l. 2 fr. ft.—Where the Ḥai. MS. and Kāsān Imp. have _mu`āraẓ_,

rival, E. and de C. translate by representative, but the following

circumstances favour "rival":—Wais was with Bābur (pp. 374-6) and

would need no representative. His arrival is not recorded; no

introductory particulars are given of him where his name is first

found (p. 372); therefore he is likely to have joined Bābur in the

time of the gap of 924 AH. (p. 366), before the siege of Bajaur-fort

and before `Alā'u'd-dīn did so. The two Sawādī chiefs received gifts

and left together (p. 376).

P. 393 l. 4.—In this couplet the point lies in the double-meaning of

_ra`iyat_, subject and peasant.

P. 401.—Under date Thursday 25th Bābur mentions an appointment to

read _fiqah sabaqī_ to him. Erskine translated this by "Sacred

extracts from the Qorān" (I followed this). But "lessons in theology"

may be a better rendering—as more literal and as allowing for the use

of other writings than the Qorān. A correspondent Mr. G. Yazdānī

(Gov. Epigraphist for Muslim Inscriptions, Haidarabad) tells us that

it is customary amongst Muslims to recite religious books on

Thursdays.

P. 404 l. 7 fr. ft.—Bābā Qashqa (or Qāshqā)'s family-group is

somewhat interesting as that of loyal and capable men of Mughūl birth

who served Bābur and Humāyūn. It must have joined Bābur in what is

now the gap between 914 and 925 AH. because not mentioned earlier and

because he is first mentioned in 925 AH. without introductory

particulars. The following details supplement _Bābur-nāma_

information about the group:—(1) Of Bāba Qashqa's murder by

Muḥammad-i-zamān _Bāī-qarā_ Gul-hadan (f. 23) makes record, and

Badāyūnī (Bib. Ind. ed. i, 450) says that (_cir._ 952 AH.) when

Bābā's son Ḥājī Muḥ. Khān _Kūkī_ had pursued and overtaken the rebel

Kāmrān, the Mīrzā asked, as though questioning the Khān's ground of

hostility to himself, "But did I kill thy father Bābā Qashqa?"

(_Pidrat Bābā Qashqa magar man kushta am?_).—(2) Of the death of Bābā

Qashqa's brother "Kūkī", Abū'l-faẓl records that he was killed in

Hindūstān by Muḥammad Sl. M. _Bāī-qarā_ (952 AH.), and that Kūkī's

nephew Shāh Muḥ. (_see_ p. 668) retaliated (955 AH.) by

arrow-shooting one of Muḥ. Sl. Mīrzā's sons. This was done when Shāh

Muḥ. was crossing Mīnār-pass on his return journey from sharing

Humāyūn's exile in Persia (_see_ Jauhar).—(3) Hājī Muḥ. Khān _Kūkī_

and Shāh Muḥammad Khān appear to have been sons of Bābā Qashqa and

nephews of "Kūkī" (_supra_). They were devoted servants of Humāyūn

but were put to death by him in 958 AH.-1551 AD. (cf. Erskine's _H.

of I. Humāyūn_).—(4) About the word _Kūkī_ dictionaries afford no

warrant for taking it to mean foster-brother (_kokah_). Chīngīz Khān

had a beg known as Kūk or Kouk (or Gūk) and one of his own grandsons

used the same style. It may link the Bābā Qashqā group with the

Chīngīz Khānid Kūkī, either as descendants or as hereditary

adherents, or as both. (_See_ Abū'l-ghāzī's _Shajarat-i-Turk_, trs.

Désmaisons, Index _s.n._ _Kouk_ and also its accounts of the origin

of several tribal groups.)

P. 416.—The line quoted by `Abdu'l-lāh is from the _Anwār-i-suhailī_,

Book II, Story i. Eastwick translates it and its immediate context

thus:—

"People follow the faith of their kings.

My heart is like a tulip scorched and by sighings flame;

In all thou seest, their hearts are scorched and stained

the same." (H.B.)

The offence of the quotation appears to have been against Khalīfa,

and might be a suggestion that he followed Bābur in breach of Law by

using wine.

P. 487 n. 2.—The following passages complete the note on _wulsa_

quoted by Erskine from Col. Mark Wilks' _Historical Sketches_ and

show how the word is used:—"During the absence of Major Lawrence from

Trichinopoly, the town had been completely depopulated by the removal

of the whole _Wulsa_ to seek for food elsewhere, and the enemy had

been earnestly occupied in endeavouring to surprise the garrison."

(Here follows Erskine's quotation _see in loco_ p. 487). "The people

of a district thus deserting their homes are called the _Wulsa_ of

that district, a state of utmost misery, involving precaution against

incessant war and unpitying depredation—so peculiar a description as

to require in any of the languages of Europe a long circumlocution,

is expressed _in all the languages of Deckan and the south of India

by a single word_. No proofs can be accumulated from the most

profound research which shall describe the immemorial condition of

the people of India with more precision than this single word. It is

a bright distinction that the _Wulsa_ never departs on the approach

of a British army when this is unaccompanied by Indian allies."—By

clerical error in the final para. of my note _ūlvash_ is entered for

_ūlvan_ [Molesworth, any desolating calamity].

P. 540 n. 4.—An explanation of Bābur's use of Shāh-zāda as T̤ahmāsp's

title may well be that this title answers to the Tīmūrid one

Mīr-zāda, Mīrzā. If so, Bābur's change to "Shāh" (p. 635) may

recognize supremacy by victory, such as he had claimed for himself in

913 AH. when he changed his Tīmūrid "Mīrzā" for "Pādshāh".

P. 557.—Ḥusain _Kashīfī_, also, quotes Firdausī's couplet in the

_Anwār-i-suhaili_ (Cap. I, Story XXI), a book dedicated to Shaikh

Aḥmad _Suhaīlī_ (p. 277) and of earlier date than the _Bābur-nāma_.

Its author died in 910 AH.-1505 AD.

P. 576 n. 1.—Tod's statement (quoted in my n. 1) that "the year of

Rānā Sangā's defeat (933 AH.) was the last of his existence" cannot

be strictly correct because Bābur's statement (p. 598) of intending

attack on him in Chitor allows him to have been alive in 934 AH.

(1528 AD.). The death occurred, "not without suspicion of poison,"

says Tod, when the Rānā had moved against Irij then held for Bābur;

it will have been long enough before the end of 934 AH. to allow an

envoy from his son Bikramājīt to wait on Bābur in that year (pp. 603,

612). Bābur's record of it may safely be inferred lost with the

once-existent matter of 934 AH.

P. 631.—My husband has ascertained that the "Sayyid Daknī" of p. 631

is Sayyid Shāh T̤āhir _Daknī_ (_Deccani_) the Shiite apostle of

Southern India, who in 935 AH. was sent to Bābur with a letter from

Burhān Niẕām Shāh of Ahmadnagar, in which (if there were not two

embassies) congratulation was made on the conquest of Dihlī and help

asked against Bahādur Shāh _Gujrātī_. A second but earlier mention of

"Sayyid _Daknī_" (_Zaknī_, _Ruknī?_) _Shīrāzī_ is on p. 619. Whether

the two entries refer to Shāh T̤āhir nothing makes clear. The

cognomen Shīrāzī disassociates them. It is always to be kept in mind

that preliminary events are frequently lost in gaps; one such will be

the arrivals of the various envoys, mentioned on p. 630, whose places

of honour are specified on p. 631. Much is on record about Sayyid

Shāh T̤āhir _Daknī_ and particulars of his life are available in the

histories by Badāyūnī (Ranking trs.) and (Firishta Nawal Kishor ed.

p. 105); B.M. Harleyan MS. No. 199 contains his letters (_see_ Rieu's

Pers. Cat. p. 395).

P. 699 and n. 3.—The particulars given by the _T̤abaqāt-i-akbarī_

about Mulṯān at this date (932-4 AH.) are as follows:—After Bābur

took the Panj-āb, he ordered Shāh Ḥasan _Arghūn_ to attempt Mulṯān,

then held by one Sl. Maḥmūd who, dying, was succeeded by an infant

son Ḥusain. Shāh Ḥāsan took Mulṯān after a 16 (lunar) months' siege,

at the end of 934 AH. (in a B.N. _lacuna_ therefore), looted and

slaughtered in it, and then returned to Tatta. On this Langar Khān

took possession of it (H.B.). What part `Askarī (_æt._ 12) had in the

matter is yet to learn; possibly he was nominated to its command and

then recalled as Bābur mentions (935 AH.).

[2872] Daulat-shāh celebrates the renown of the Jalāīr section

(_farqa_) of the Chaghatāī tribes (_aqwām_) of the Mughūl

horde (_aūlūs_, _ūlūs_), styles the above-entered `Alī Beg a

veteran hero, and links his family with that of the Jalāīr

Sultāns of Bāghdād (Browne's ed. p. 519).

[2873] See H. S. lith. ed. iii, 224, for three men who

[2875] On p. 69 n. 2 for _aūnūlūng_ read _aūnūtūng_ and

reverse _bakunīd_ with _nakunīd_.

[2876] On p. 49 l. 3 for "Black Sheep" read White Sheep.

[2877] Like his brother Hind-āl's name, Alūr's may be due to

the taking (_al_) of Hind.

[2879] On p. 85 l. 9 for "872 AH.-1467 AD.", read 851 AH.-1447

AD.

[2880] On p. 79 transfer the note-reference "3" to _qibla_.

[2881] See Daulat-shāh (Browne's ed. p. 362) for an

entertaining record of the Mīrzā's zeal as a sportsman and an

illustrative anecdote by Shaikh `Ārif _`azarī_ _q.v._ (H.B.).

[2882] I have found no statement of his tribe or race; he and

his brother are styled Khwāja (Ḥ.S. lith. ed. iii, 272); he is

associated closely with Aḥmad Taṃbal _Mughūl_ and Mughūls of

the Horde; also his niece's name Aūlūs Āghā translates as Lady

of the Horde (_ūlūs_, _aūlūs_). But he may have been a

Turkmān.

[2883] The MS. variants between `Alī and -qulī are confusing.

What stands in my text (p. 27) may be less safe than the

above.

[2884] Bābā Qashqa was murdered by Muḥammad-i-zamān

_Bāī-qarā_. For further particulars of his family group see

Add. Notes under p. 404.

[2885] Sulṯan Bābā-qulī Beg is found variously designated Qulī

Beg, Qulī Bābā, Sl. `Alī Bābā-qulī, Sulṯān-qūlī Bābā and

Bābā-qulī Beg. Several forms appear to express his filial

relationship with Sulṯān Bābā `Alī (_q.v._).

[2886] Down to p. 346 Bābur's statements are retrospective;

after p. 346 they are mostly contemporary with the dates of

his diary—when not so are in supplementing passages of later

date.

[2887] He may be the father of Mun`im Khān (Blochmann's

Biographies A.-i-A. trs. 317 and n. 2).

[2888] See note, Index, _s.n._ Muḥammad Ẕakarīa.

[2889] He is likely to have been introduced with some

particulars of tribe, in one of the now unchronicled years

after Bābur's return from his Trans-oxus campaign.

[2890] His wife, daughter of a wealthy man and on the mother's

side niece of Sulṯān Buhlūl _Lūdī_, financed the military

efforts of Bāyazīd and Bīban (_Tārīkh-i-sher-shāhī_, E. and D.

iv, 353 ff.).

[2891] My translation on p. 621 l. 12 is inaccurate inasmuch

as it hides the circumstance that Beg-gīna alone was the

"messenger of good tidings".

[2892] In taking Bīban for a Jilwānī, I follow Erskine, (as

inferences also warrant,) but he may be a Lūdī.

[2893] For the same uncertainty between Bihār and Pahār see E.

and D.'s History of India iv, 352 n. 2.

[2894] Firishta lith. ed. i, 202.

[2895] For "Mū'min" read Mūmin, which form is constant in the

Ḥai. MS.

[2896] He may be Ḥamīda-bānū's father and, if so, became

grandfather of Akbar.

[2897] Ilminsky, _anlū_, Erskine, _angū_. Daulat-shāh mentions

a Muḥammad Shāh _anjū_ (see Brown's ed. Index _s.n._).

[2898] On p. 22 n. 2 delete "_Chaghatāī Mughūl_" on grounds

given in Additional Note, Page 22.

[2899] For Humāyūn's annotation of the _Bābur-nāma_, see

General Index _s.n._ Humāyūn's Notes.

[2900] For a correction of dates, see _s.n._ Aūlūgh Beg.

[2901] On p. 279 l. 3 from foot read "There was also Ibrāhīm

_Chaghatāī_" after "Muḥammad-i-zamān Mīrzā".

[2902] _Addendum_:—p. 49 l. 4, read "wife" of Muḥammadī "son"

of Jahān-shāh.

[2903] His name might mean Welcome, _Bien-venu_.

[2904] Khusrau-shāh may be the more correct form.

[2905] The "afterwards" points to an omission which

Khwānd-amīr's account of Ḥusain's daughters fills (lith. ed.

iii, 327).

[2906] No record survives of the Khwāja's deeds of daring

other than those entered above; perhaps the other instances

Bābur refers to occurred during the gap 908-9 AH.

[2907] This may be a tribal or a family name. Abū'l-ghāzī

mentions two individuals named "Kouk". One was Chīngīz Khān's

grandson who is likely to have had descendants or followers

distinguishable as _Kūkī_. See Add. Note P. 673 on Kūkī fate.

[2908] Cf. E. and D. for "Karānī" (_e.g._ vol. iv, 530). The

Ḥai. MS. sometimes doubles the _r_, sometimes not.

[2909] See _Wāqi`āt-i-mushtāqī_, E. and D. iv, 548.

[2910] Shaikhīm _Suhailī_ however was named Aḥmad (277) not

Muhammad.

[2911] The record of the first appears likely to be lost in

the _lacuna_ of 934 AH.

[2912] See _Shaibānī-nāma_, Vambéry's ed. Cap. xv, l. 12, for

his changes of service, and Sām Mīrzā's _Tuḥfa-i-sāmī_ for

various particulars including his classification as a

Chaghatāī.

[2913] He died serving Bābur, at Kūl-i-malik (Ḥ.S. iii,

344).—Further information negatives my suggestion (201 n. 7)

that he and Mīr Ḥusain (p. 288 and n. 7) were one.

[2914] "Zaitun is the name of the Chinese city from which

satin was brought (_hodie_ Thsiuancheu or Chincheu) and my

belief is that our word satin came from it" (Col. H. Yule, E.

and D. iv, 514).

[2915] My text omits to translate _yīgīt_ (_aūghūl_) and thus

loses the information that Yaḥyā's sons Bāqī and Ẕakarīa were

above childhood, were grown to fighting age—braves—but not yet

begs (see Index _s.n._ _chuhra_).

[2916] See Add. Notes under p. 39.

[2917] See Add. Notes under p. 266.

[2918] For emendation of 266 n. 7, see Add. Notes under P.

266.

[2919] On p. 49 l. 3 for "Black" read White; and in l. 3 read

("wife of") Muḥammadi son of ("Jahān-shāh").

[2920] Cf. Ḥ.S. Fertī's trs. p. 70 for the same name Qaitmās.

[2921] His capture is not recorded.

[2922] He joined Bābur with his father Yār-i-`alī _Balāl_

(_q.v._) in 910 AH. (Blochmann's Biographies, A.-i-A. trs.

315).

[2923] Concerning the date of his death, see Additional Notes

under p. 603.

[2924] Since my text was printed, my husband has lighted upon

what shows that the guest at the feast was an ambassador sent

by Burhān Niẕām Shāh of Aḥmadnagar to congratulate Bābur on

his conquest of Dihlī, namely, Shāh T̤āhir the apostle of

Shiism in the Dakkan. He is thus distinguished from Sayyid

Daknī, (Ruknī, Zaknī) _infra_ and my text needs suitable

correction. (See Add. Notes under p. 631 for further

particulars of the Sayyid and his embassy.)

[2925] For further particulars see Add. Note under p. 688.

[2926] For "H.S. ii" read iii (as also in some other places).

[2927] Down to p. 131 the Ḥai. MS. uses the name Shaibānī or

Shaibānī Khān; from that page onwards it writes Shaibāq Khān,

in agreement with the Elphinstone MS.—Other names found are

_e.g._ Gulbadan's Shāhī Beg Khān and Shah-bakht. (My note 2 on

p. 12 needs modification.)

[2928] The title "Aūghlān" (child, boy) indicates that the

bearer died without ruling.

[2929] This cognomen was given because the bearer was born

during an eclipse of the moon (_āī_, moon and the root _al_

taking away); _see_ Badāyūnī Bib. Ind. ed. i, 62.

[2930] Here _delete_ "Sulṯān-nigar Khānīm", who was his

grandmother and not his mother.

[2931] On p. 433 n. 1 her name is mistakenly entered as that

of Sulaimān's mother.

[2932] Concerning this title, see Add. Notes under p. 540.

[2933] He may be the Tūlik Khān _qūchīn_ of the

_Ma`asiru'l-umrā_ i, 475.

[2934] Ḥaidar Mīrzā gives an interesting account of his

character and attainments (T.R. trs. p. 283).

[2935] See Additional Note under P. 372.

[2936] See Additional Notes under P. 51.

[2937] Here the Ḥai. MS. and Ilminsky's Imprint add "Nāṣir".

[2938] The natural place for this Section of record is at the

first mention of Yūnas Khān (p. 12) and not, as now found,

interrupting another Section. See p. 678 and n. 4 as to

"Sections".

[2939] The entries of 934 and 935 may concern a second man

`Alī-i-yūsuf.

[2940] Perhaps skilled in the art of metaphors and tropes

(_`ilmu'l-badī`_).

[2941] My text has _julgāsī_, but I am advised to omit the

genitive _sī_; so, too, in aīkī-sū-ārā-sī, Rabāṭjk-aūrchīn-ī

_q.v._

[2942] Cf. _s.n._ Āhangaran-julga n. as to form of the name.

[2943] Asterisks indicate Translator's matter.

[2944] Bābur uses this name for, Anglicé, the Kābul-river as

low as nearly to Dakka.

[2945] "The Dara-i-ṣūf, often mentioned by the Arabian

writers, seems to lie west of Bāmīān" (Erskine, _Memoirs_, p.

152 n. 1).

[2946] Bābur's itinerary gives Gharjistan a greater eastward

extent than the Fr. map Maïmènè allows, thus agreeing with

Erskine's surmise (_Memoirs_ p. 152 n. 1).—The first syllable

of the name may be "Ghur".

[2947] On p. 7, l. 1, after "turbulent", _add_, " They are

notorious in Māwarā'u'n-nahr for their bullying."

[2948] On p. 134 for "(I was) 19" _read_ in my 19th (lunar)

year.

[2949] Cf. _Life of Busbecq_ (Forster and Daniels) i, 252-7,

for feats of Turkish archery.

[2950] For the Bukhara (Bābur-nāma) Compilation _see_

_Wāqi`-nāma-i-pādshāhi_; as also for its Codices, descendants

and offtakes, _viz._ Ilminski's "_Bābur-nāma_" and de

Courteille's _Mémoires de Baber_.

[2951] The confusion of identity has become clear to me in

1921 only.

[2952] One of the nine great gods of the Etruscans was called

Tūrān. Etr. _Tūr_ means strong, a strong place (fortress);

with it may connect L. _turma_ (troop) and the name of

Virgil's Rutulian hero Turmus may root in the Mongol tongue.

Professor Jules Marthe writes in _La Langue Etrusque_ (Pref.

vi), "Il m'a paru qu'il y avait entre l'Etrusque et les

langues finns-ougriennes d'étroites affinités" (hence with the

Mongol tongue). "Tarkhān" is "Tūrkhān" in Miles trs. p. 71 of

the _Shajaratu'l-atrāk_ (H. B.).

[2953] This Cat. contains the Turkī MS. of the Bukhara

Compilation, once owned by Leyden.

[2954] where, in n. 3, for f. 183_b_ and f. 264_b_ _read_ f.

103_b_ and f. 264.

[2955] For "Ḥ.S. ii" read Ḥ.S. iii—also on p. 244.

[2956] On this peg may be hung the following note:—The

_Pādshāh-nāma_ (_q.v._) calls the author and presenter of the

above translation "Abū-ṯālib" _Ḥusainī_ (Bib. Ind. ed. vol. i,

part 2, p. 288), but its index contains many references

seemingly to the same man as Khwāja Abū'l-husain _Turbati_.

The P. N. says the book which it entitles

_Wāqi`āt-i-ṣaḥib-qirān_ (The Acts of Tīmūr), was in Turki, was

brought forth from the Library of the (Turk) Governor of Yemen

and translated by Mīr Abū-ṯālib _Ḥusainī_; that what Timūr had

done with this book of counsel (_dastān-i-nasā'iḥ_) when he

sent it to his son Pīr-i-muhammad, then succeeding (his

brother) Jahāngīr [in Kābul, the Ghaznis, Qandahār, _etc._]

Shāhjahān also did by sending it, out of love, to his son

Aurangzīb who had been ordered to the Deccan.

[2957] In n. 5 for "_parwān_" read _parrān_, and _read_

Blanford.

[2958] Which _read_ (l. 17) for _yak rang_. The name

_bak-dīng_ appears due to the clapping of the bird's mandibles

and its pompous strut; (cf. Ross' _Polyglot List_, No. 336).

[2959] Following the _zammaj_ insert "Another is the buzzard

(T. _Sār_); its back and tail are red". (_Cf._ Omission List

under p. 500.)

[2960] _See_ Omission List under p. 498.

[2961] After "Tramontane", _add_ Its breast is less deeply

black.

[2962] The bird being black, its name cannot be translated

"yellow-bird"; as noted on p. 373 _sārīgh_ = thief; [_sārāgh_

or _sārīgh_ means a bird's song].

[2963] For references to Niẕāmi's text, I am indebted to Mr.

Beveridge's knowledge of the poems.

[2964] Cf. Mr. G. Murray's trs. (Euripides i, 86) suggesting

that the Wooden Horse was a _sar-kob_.

[2965] Abū'l-ghāzī classes Manghīt with Mughul tribes, Radloff

with Turk tribes (_Récueils p. 325_), Erskine says, "modern

Nogais."
