The Bābur-nāma in English (Memoirs of Bābur)

Note 1894 — SECTION III. HINDŪSTĀN (continued 2)

Annette Susannah Beveridge translation

Here the Elph. Codex, only, has the (seeming) note, “An ‘Arab calls it kāẕī” (or kāwī). This fills out Steingass’ part-explanation of kāwī, “the blossom of the fragrant palm-tree, armāt̤” (p. 1010), and of armāt̤, “a kind of date-tree with a fragrant blossom” (p. 39), by making armāt̤ and kāwī seem to be the Pandanus and its flower.

Explore with AITake your curiosity a little further.
