The Bābur-nāma in English (Memoirs of Bābur)

Note 288 — SECTION I. FARGHĀNA.

Annette Susannah Beveridge translation

Khwānd-amīr also singles out one man for praise, Sl. Maḥmūd Mīr-i-ākhwur; the two names probably represent one person. The sobriquet may refer to skill with a matchlock, to top-spinning (firnagī-bāz) or to some lost joke. (Ḥ.S. ii, 257.)
