i. The passage is in neither of the Wāqi‘āt-i-bāburī.
ii. The dreams detailed are too à propos and marvellous for credence.
iii. Khwāja Yaḥyā is not known to have had a son, named Ya‘qūb.
iv. The Bābur-nāma does not contain the names assigned to the rescuers.
v. The Khāns were not in Andijān and Bābur did not go there.
vi. He did not set out for Khurāsān after spending 4 months with The Khāns but after Aḥmad’s death (end of 909 AH.), while Maḥmud was still in Eastern Turkistān and after about a year’s stay in Sūkh.
vii. The followers who gathered to him were not ‘more than 300’ but between 2 and 300.
viii. The ‘3 days,’ and the ‘day and two nights,’ and the ‘5 days’ journey was one of some 70 miles, and one recorded as made in far less time.
ix. The passage is singularly inadequate to fill a gap of 14 to 16 months, during which events of the first importance occurred to Bābur and to the Chaghatāī dynasty.
x. Khwāja Aḥrārī’s promises did nothing to fulfil Bābur’s wishes for 908 AH. while those of Ya‘qūb for immediate victory were closely followed by defeat and exile. Bābur knew the facts; the passage cannot be his. It looks as though the writer saw Bābur in Karnān across Tīmūrid success in Hindūstān.
