155.1.1

When Kushluk conquered Kashghar and Khotan, he changed from the religion of Jesus to the practice of idolatry, and the rest of the people he caused to abandon Hanifism and become fire worshippers. He changed the lights of the true path into the darkness of unbelief, and the service of the all merciful into the serfdom of Satan. . . . Thus far, I have copied from the Tarikh-i-Jahan-Kushai. After Chingiz Khan had subjugated the whole of Kashghar, he went and set his mind at rest with regard to the affairs of Iran and Turan — nay, rather of the whole world. He then returned to his capital and divided all his kingdoms among his four sons. We learn from the Majma'u-Tavarikh of Rashidi and from the Guzida (the former entering into detail, the latter giving it in brief), that the whole of the Dasht-i-Khizr and [Dasht-i]-Kipchak, whose boundaries are Rum, the ocean [Muhit] Mavara-un-Nahr, and Moghulistan, was given to his eldest son, Juji Khan. Moghulistan, Kara Khitai, Turkistan and Mavara-un-Nahr to Chaghatai Khan. To Tuli he gave the whole of Khitai, while his original seat of government, that is to say Karakorúm and the Kalmák [country] he entrusted to Uktai. In the same manner he distributed his army and his Amirs; and in that division, the Dughlát fell to the lot of Chaghatai, who entrusted to them Mangalái Suyah, which means "facing the sun" [Aftáb rui]. This country is bounded by Shásh, Chálish, Issigh Kul and Sarigh Uighur;
