(/. Holy-war against Chandiri.)
{Dec. gtli) After returning from Slkrl we started on Mondaynight the 14th of the first Rabl',1 with the intention of making Holy-war against Chandiri, did as much as 3 kurohs (6 m.) and dismounted in Jalislr.2 After staying there two-days for people to equip and array, we marched on Thursday {Dec. 12th Rabt I. ryth) and dismounted at Anwar. I left Anwar by boat, and disembarked beyond Chandwar.3
(Dec. 23rd) Advancing march by march, we dismounted at the Kanar-passage 4 on Monday the 28th.
{Dec. 26th) On Thursday the 2nd of the latter Rabl' I crossed the river ; there was 4 or 5 days delay on one bank or the other before the army got across. On those days we went more than once on board a boat and ate ma'jun. The junction of the river Chambal is between one and two kurohs (2-4 m.) above the Kanar-passage; on Friday I went into a boat on the Chambal, passed the junction and so to camp.
{g. Troops sent against Shaikh Bayazid Farmiili.)
Though there had been no clear proof of Shaikh ISayazld's hostility, yet his misconduct and action made it certain that he had hostile intentions. On account of this Muhammad 'All Jang-jang was detached from the army and sent to bring together from Qanuj Muhammad SI. Mlrza and the sultans and amirs of that neighbourhood, such as Qasim-i-husain Sultan, Bl-khub (or, Ni-khub) Sultan, Malik Qasim, Kukl, Abu'lmuhammad the lancer, and Minuchihr Khan with his elder and younger brethren and Darya-khanls, so that they might move against the hostile Afghans. They were to invite Shaikh Bayazid to go with them ; if he came frankly, they were to take him along; if not, were to drive him off. Muhammad 'Ah
1 It is not clear whether Babur returned from Sikri on the day he started for Jalislr ; no question of distance would prevent him from making the two journeys on the Monday.
2 As this was the rendezvous for the army, it would be convenient if it lay between Agra and Anwar ; as it was 6 m. from Agra, the only mapped place having approximately the name Jalislr, viz. Jalesar, in Etah, seems too far away.
3 Anwar would be suitably the Unwara of the Indian Atlas, which is on the first important southward dip of the Jumna below Agra. Chandwar is 25 m. east of Agra, on the Muttra-Etawah road (G. of I.) ; Jarrett notes that Tiefenthaler identifies it with Firuzabad (A.-i-A. ii, 183 n.).
4 In the district of Kalpi. The name does not appear in maps I have seen.
