Mirzá Jahángir retired to Sánju, which is the frontier on the high-road to Tibet, while Mirzá Abá Bakr went to Khotan. But, seeing no possibility of making a stand in the citadel there, he marched on to Karánghutágh, whither he was followed, in hot pursuit, by a party of Moghuls. As the roads were difficult, it would have been hard—nay, impossible, for him to carry off all the property he had with him ; he therefore collected it all together, and set it on fire. I have heard from those who had charge of it, that there were nine hundred mule-loads of embroidered and brocaded garments. Many of them were embroidered in gold in the European, Ottoman \[Rumi\], and Chinese fashions; while some of the robes were studded with jewels and all kinds of precious stones. All these were consumed in the fire; while his gold and silver vases, cups, and various kinds of ornaments set with jewels, and his saddle-bags filled with gold-dust, he threw from the bridge into the River Ak-Tash, which flows through the middle of \[the valley of\] Karanghutagh. He killed his riding horses \[tupchdk\] and mules; then, taking what it was possible to carry on such a road, set out for Tibet. - [Previous: 162.10](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.kashmir.tarikh-i-rashidi~en-ross.162.10) - [Next: 162.12](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.kashmir.tarikh-i-rashidi~en-ross.162.12) - [Up: 162](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.kashmir.tarikh-i-rashidi~en-ross.162) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.kashmir.tarikh-i-rashidi~en-ross.162.11](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.kashmir.tarikh-i-rashidi~en-ross.162.11) · Pramāṇa
