Note 115 — SECTION I. FARGHĀNA.
Annette Susannah Beveridge translation
Probably below the Tīrāk (Poplar) Pass, the caravan route much exposed to avalanches.
Mr. Erskine notes that this anecdote is erroneously told as of Bābur by Firishta and others. Perhaps it has been confused with the episode on f. 207b. Firishta makes another mistaken attribution to Bābur, that of Ḥasan of Yaq‘ūb’s couplet. (H.B.) Cf. f. 13b and Dow’s Hindustan ii, 218.
