The Bābur-nāma in English (Memoirs of Bābur)

Note 811 — SECTION II. KĀBUL666

Annette Susannah Beveridge translation

Mems. p. 146 and Méms, i, 297, Arabs’ encampment and Cellule des Arabes. Perhaps the name may refer to uses of the level land and good pasture by horse qāfilas, since Kurra is written with tashdīd in the Ḥaidarābād Codex, as in kurra-tāz, a horse-breaker. Or the tāziyān may be the fruit of a legend, commonly told, that the saint of the neighbouring Running-sands was an Arabian.

Explore with AITake your curiosity a little further.
