Aksu is particularly mentioned as "a town of the kingdom of Cascar" (Kashghar), and the chief there is described as a nephew of the king's, and only twelve years of age; but he is not named. The territory of "Cialis" (Chalish) was governed by an illegitimate son of the king of Kashghar; but here again the traveller furnishes no name, and gives no indication of whether the territory was a dependency, or not, of Muhammad Khan's. Similarly, when mentioning Khotan, he merely alludes to "the prince of Quotan," but gives no name or other information regarding him. Thus the only personage whose name can be identified from Goes' narrative, is Muhammad Khan, who appears to be the 'Muhammad Sultan' of Ahmad Razi's list, and the sixth son of Rashid Sultan. This, at any rate, seems possible as far as dates are concerned, though Ahmad Razi states that Abdul Karim (the second son of Rashid) was the reigning Khan in 1593, and Muhammad Sultan only governor of Kashghar—meaning, presumably, the town and district of that name, but not the entire Khanate. Ten years, however, had passed between the date when Ahmad Razi wrote and that of Goes' visit to the country. - [Previous: 10.2.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.kashmir.tarikh-i-rashidi~en-ross.10.2.5) - [Next: 10.2.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.kashmir.tarikh-i-rashidi~en-ross.10.2.7) - [Up: 10.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.kashmir.tarikh-i-rashidi~en-ross.10.2) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.kashmir.tarikh-i-rashidi~en-ross.10.2.6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.kashmir.tarikh-i-rashidi~en-ross.10.2.6) · Pramāṇa
