106.8

When the news of the capture of the Khans reached Tashkand, Sultan Muhammad Sultan carried off into Moghulistan, all that he was able of his people and family, and of the Moghul Ulus, causing my father and my uncle to follow him with all the money they could collect. When the Kháns were captured, Shahi Beg Khan said: "I have always wished to arrange a marriage, but it has never been granted me; to make up for this [disappointment] I must now form three marriage alliances." The youngest sister of the Khan, Daulat Sultan Khanim, who has been mentioned above in the list of the children of Yunus Khan, was married to [Sháhi Beg's] son Timur Sultan. He took for himself Aisha Sultán Khánim, better known as Moghul Khánim, and gave to Jáni Beg Khan, Kutuk Khánim; both of these princesses were, in their chastity, bright as the sun and pure as the moon. Some of their children are living now, and are ruling in Mavarâ-un-Nahr. On the return of the Kháns to their old residence, in Moghulistan, the younger fell ill, and at the end of the year 909, wandered from the garden of earthly dominion to the fields of Paradise.
