Note 5 — Chapter II · PROBLEMS OF THE MUTILATED BABUR-NAMA.
Annette Susannah Beveridge translation
The suggestion, implied by my use of this word, that Babur may have definitely closed his autobiography (as Timur did under other circumstances) is due to the existence of a compelling cause viz. that he would be expectant of death as the price of Humayun’s restored life (p. 701).
