When Chaghatai Khan apportioned his kingdom, he gave Mangalai Suyah to Urtubu, who was the grandfather of Amir Bulaji. Mangalai Suyah is the equivalent of Aftab Rui, or "sun-faced." It is bounded on the east by Kusan and Tarbugur; on the west by Sam, Gaz and Jakishman, which are situated on the confines of Farghana; on the north by Issigh Kul, and on the south by Jorjan and Sarigh-Uighur. This territory is called Mangalai Suyah, and it was subject to Amir Bulaji. In his time it contained many large towns, the most important of which were Kashghar, Khotan, Yarkand, Kasan, Akhsiket, Andijan, Aksu, At-Bashi and Kusan. From all these towns, Amir Bulaji the Kara-Khitais, the Arabs, the Chinese, or even the Buddhists of India may have had a hand in inventing a name for the country in ancient times—if ancient the name is; but this last point is also one on which Mirza Haidar fails to enlighten us. - [Previous: 17.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.kashmir.tarikh-i-rashidi~en-ross.17.2) - [Next: 17.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.kashmir.tarikh-i-rashidi~en-ross.17.4) - [Up: 17](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.kashmir.tarikh-i-rashidi~en-ross.17) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.kashmir.tarikh-i-rashidi~en-ross.17.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.kashmir.tarikh-i-rashidi~en-ross.17.3) · Pramāṇa
