During the time of the Uzbeg domination, of which I have spoken, when the people of Badakhshan raised their heads in every corner, and the Uzbeg made several unsuccessful invasions, one of the chiefs of Badakhshan was Mubarak Shah. He had chosen out a strong place for himself, but before he was able to complete the fortifications, the Uzbeg came upon him. He gave them battle in that place, and defeated them, and for that reason he called the fort Kala-i-Zafar \[the Fort of Victory\], which name is the more appropriate seeing that Mubarak Shah was of a tribe called "Muzaffari." It is the capital of Badakhshan. This Mubarak Shah was put to death by Zobir Raghi, who had defeated him, but who was, in turn, killed by Mirza Khan, as already mentioned. \[Mirza Khan then ruled Badakhshan\] and resided in Kala-i-Zafar. - [Previous: 126.10](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.kashmir.tarikh-i-rashidi~en-ross.126.10) - [Next: 126.12](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.kashmir.tarikh-i-rashidi~en-ross.126.12) - [Up: 126](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.kashmir.tarikh-i-rashidi~en-ross.126) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.kashmir.tarikh-i-rashidi~en-ross.126.11](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.kashmir.tarikh-i-rashidi~en-ross.126.11) · Pramāṇa
