He was a mere child when his father was drowned in the river, at Akhsi, by Jani Beg Sultan, in the year 914. After the Khan took Andijan, Baba Sultan remained in the Khan's service, and was treated with such consideration that he became an object of envy to \[the Khan's own\] children. Khwaja Ali Bahadur, who has been frequently mentioned, was appointed his governor \[Ataka\]. This man, as has been explained, had a plan \[for seizing\] Moghulistan, and taking Baba Sultan with him. But my uncle opposed this, and arranged that Rashid Sultan should go instead. On this account, Baba Sultan was offended. Despite the attentions the Khan showed him, his resentment increased daily, and in proportion as Rashid Sultan rose \[in power\], his jealousy became the more bitter. Moreover, some devils of companions (who are to be found everywhere, and who sow the seeds of hypocrisy in the soil of men's hearts) did their best to incite him to sedition and revolt; so that at length he came to the conclusion that there was nothing left but flight. - [Previous: 196.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.kashmir.tarikh-i-rashidi~en-ross.196.5) - [Next: 197.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.kashmir.tarikh-i-rashidi~en-ross.197.2) - [Up: 197](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.kashmir.tarikh-i-rashidi~en-ross.197) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.kashmir.tarikh-i-rashidi~en-ross.197.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.kashmir.tarikh-i-rashidi~en-ross.197.1) · Pramāṇa
