When the Khán fled from Samarkand and entered the service of his noble uncle Sultán Mahmud Khan, Khwája Ali Bahadur was in Yatikand, in the service of one of the officers of Sultán Mahmud Khán. When the Khán arrived, he entered \[his uncle's\] service with the greatest eagerness. On the occasion of the Khán's flight, when he received the arrow-wound from Maksud Ali, the musician, Khwája Ali Bahádur, had displayed great valour in the contest, and had shown proofs of singular daring, which did not escape the notice of the Khán, who, from that day forward, bestowed on him his special protection and favour. In the battles that took place in Moghulistán, he usually distinguished himself by his heroic acts. But besides his bravery and prowess, he was also noted for his sagacity, intelligence, and perception; wherefore at that time most \[of the Khan's\] affairs were submitted to him for decision. - [Previous: 112.2.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.kashmir.tarikh-i-rashidi~en-ross.112.2.3) - [Next: 112.2.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.kashmir.tarikh-i-rashidi~en-ross.112.2.5) - [Up: 112.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.kashmir.tarikh-i-rashidi~en-ross.112.2) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.kashmir.tarikh-i-rashidi~en-ross.112.2.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.kashmir.tarikh-i-rashidi~en-ross.112.2.4) · Pramāṇa
