The Bābur-nāma in English (Memoirs of Bābur)

Note 1878 — SECTION III. HINDŪSTĀN (continued 2)

Annette Susannah Beveridge translation

Bābur may have confused this with H. bijaurā; so too appears to have done the writer (Humāyūn?) of a [now mutilated] note in the Elph. Codex (f. 238), which seems to say that the fruit or its name went from Bajaur to Hindūstān. Is the country of Bajaur so-named from its indigenous orange (vījāpūra, whence bijaurā)? The name occurs also north of Kangra.

Explore with AITake your curiosity a little further.
