But these successes filled his mind with pride and vainglory. When he was thus at the height of his power, my father arrived in Karátigin, and Khusrau Sháh desired an interview with him. My father accordingly went to Hisár; and Khusrau Sháh, having received him in the Bágh-i-chinár, with the utmost distinction and friendliness, said to him: "I look upon your gracious visit as a blessing from God; for it is the season of Sháhi Beg Khán's supremacy. My fear is that though this year his mind is set upon the conquest of other territories, he may next year turn towards this quarter. I have never been to war with the Uzbeg, and do not know their mode of warfare. For every tribe has its own special methods, whether in war or in negotiation. The arrangement of these matters differs with each people according to time and place, and until their methods are known, it is difficult to contend with them. Now, as you have many times had to do with the Uzbeg, both in peace and in war, and have experienced, when at war with them, both victory and defeat, make known to me all that you have learned, that I may be guided by what you tell me. As my reliance is on you, and my hope, I beg you to accept, in confirmation of my confidence, Sultanim Begum, daughter of Sultdn Ahmad Mirzd, and one of the princesses, \[of my family\] that she may be a bond of union between us." - [Previous: 108.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.kashmir.tarikh-i-rashidi~en-ross.108.1) - [Next: 108.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.kashmir.tarikh-i-rashidi~en-ross.108.3) - [Up: 108](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.kashmir.tarikh-i-rashidi~en-ross.108) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.kashmir.tarikh-i-rashidi~en-ross.108.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.kashmir.tarikh-i-rashidi~en-ross.108.2) · Pramāṇa
