At first Mansur Khán acted generously in counselling him to desist and in forgiving him, but finally, since Aiman Khwája Sultán would not cease to urge his claims, Mansur Khán ordered him to be put to death. On Yáraká Atáka, the Khán's trusted servant, was imposed the duty of carrying out the order; but he took Aiman Khwája Sultán to \[his own\] house and hid him in an underground \[chamber\], spreading the report that he had put him to death. Not long after this, came news of the Khán's victory over Mirzá Abá Bakr, and the conquest of Káshghar. \[Thereupon\] Mansur Khán repented his deed, and showed strong marks of regret and sorrow. Yáraká Atáka represented that learned men had said: "'It is an easy matter to deprive a man of his life's breath; but life cannot be restored to a dead man.' I acted in opposition to orders, and have kept him safe." On hearing this the Khán was overjoyed, and expressed his gratitude to Yáraká Atáka, who brought forth Aiman Khwája Sultán from the house. Aiman Khwája Sultán, on being set at liberty, went to Bábáják Sultán, the full brother of Mansur Khán, who had lately settled in Kusán and Bái. - [Previous: 168.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.kashmir.tarikh-i-rashidi~en-ross.168.1) - [Next: 168.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.kashmir.tarikh-i-rashidi~en-ross.168.3) - [Up: 168](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.kashmir.tarikh-i-rashidi~en-ross.168) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.kashmir.tarikh-i-rashidi~en-ross.168.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.kashmir.tarikh-i-rashidi~en-ross.168.2) · Pramāṇa
