If you will allow me, I will cause them to assemble and with their assistance \[I will bring the rebels again under your authority\]. Thus will I help the Gur Khan; and I will not in any way deviate from his commands." With such flattery and deceit did he throw the Gur Khan into the well of pride. Then having loaded him with gifts, he begged that the title of "Kushluk Khan" might be bestowed on him. The Gur Khan accepted the gifts and gave him the title he desired, whereupon, quick as an arrow shot from a bow, Kushluk left the territory of the Gur Khan and came to the country of Imal and Kiyak. When the report of the invasion of Kushluk got abroad, Tuktai, who was one of the Makrit Amirs, had fled and joined Kushluk. This was before the rumours of the conquests of the Emperor of the world, Chingiz Khan, had been spread abroad. And wherever they went, they were joined by bands of men, with whom they conducted forays — plundering and burning as they came and went. - [Previous: 154.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.kashmir.tarikh-i-rashidi~en-ross.154.1) - [Next: 154.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.kashmir.tarikh-i-rashidi~en-ross.154.3) - [Up: 154](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.kashmir.tarikh-i-rashidi~en-ross.154) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.kashmir.tarikh-i-rashidi~en-ross.154.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.kashmir.tarikh-i-rashidi~en-ross.154.2) · Pramāṇa
