His mother is the same Máhum Anagah, mentioned on p. 323. “From Badáoní (II, 340) we learn that Báqí Khán died in the 30th year as Governor of Gaḍha-Katangah.” This is all the Maásir says of him.
His full name is Muḥammad Báqí Khán Kokah. From Badáoní II. 81, we see that Báqí Khán took part in the war against Iskandar Khán and Bahádur Khán (972–73), and fought under Mu’izzulmulk (No. 61) in the battle of Khairábád, in which Budágh Khán (No. 52) was captured. The battle was lost, chiefly because Báqí Khán, Mahdí Qásim Khán (No. 36), and Ḥusain Khán Ṭukriyah (No. 53) had personal grievances—their Uzbak hatred—against Mu’izzul-Mulk and Rájah Todar Mall.
