But the ill-advised nobles, foremost among whom was Mirza Ali Taghái, mounted the Khan, in his weak condition, upon his horse, and then started with all speed, supporting him on every side. As it is dangerous \[with this malady\] to remain in an upright position, it would have been proper to construct a litter. But these Amirs excused themselves for not making one, on the ground that it could not be carried over the passes. \[Verse\]. . . . They made eight days' journey in four, and at eventide prayers they arrived within three farsakhs of a stage where dam-giri is less prevalent. There, suddenly, the Khan's strength gave way before the violence of his malady, and his nature became utterly exhausted by that hell-tainted climate. Thus did the pure soul of that noble-minded and just ruler hasten to the regions of the blessed. \[Three couplets\]. . . . This awful and heartrending event happened on the 16th of Zulhijja in the year 939 \[9 July, 1533\]. After this calamity many terrible and strange things came about, of which I shall speak presently. - [Previous: 233.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.kashmir.tarikh-i-rashidi~en-ross.233.1) - [Next: 233.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.kashmir.tarikh-i-rashidi~en-ross.233.3) - [Up: 233](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.kashmir.tarikh-i-rashidi~en-ross.233) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.kashmir.tarikh-i-rashidi~en-ross.233.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.kashmir.tarikh-i-rashidi~en-ross.233.2) · Pramāṇa
