Bustdngir Mirza did not accompany his mother and brother. He went from Tibet to Kashmir and thence into Hindustan. (At that time Babar Pddishah had not conquered Hindustan.) From Hindustan he retired to Kabul, but although he was [the son of the daughter of the Emperor's uncle], his father's misdeeds made him repulsive to the Emperor, so that he could not stay in Kabul, but fled into Badakhshan, to Mirza Khan, who was his maternal uncle. Mirza Khan, however, instead of showing him the affection of an uncle, displayed hostility towards him on account of his father, Mirz4 Aba Bakr; so that he was forced to fly from him also, and betake himself to the Uzbeg Shaiban. Suyunjuk Khan received him with the utmost courtesy and honour, saying: "He is a human being, and it is incumbent on us to treat him with kindness." He is still about Andijdn and Tashkand, where he enjoys high distinction, and is famous among the Uzbeg for his honourable conduct.
