Finally, fleeing after one of the contests in Moghulistan, he repaired to Andijan, where the governor, who was subject to Shahi Beg Khan, threw him into prison, with the intention of putting him to death ; but escaping thence, he took refuge with his cousin, Babar Padishah, in Kabul. When the Emperor marched again upon Hisar, with the purpose of subduing Mavara-un-Nahr, he sent the Khan to Andijan. On reaching this place, it was given up to him by my uncle, who entered his service. When the Uzbeg a second time became masters of Mavara-un-Nahr, the Khan abandoned Andijan and went to Kashghar, which he took by force of arms, and there he reigned absolute during twenty years. At the end \[of his reign\] he undertook a holy war against Tibet, where, in the year 939, he died of dam-giri at the age of forty-seven. - [Previous: 233.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.kashmir.tarikh-i-rashidi~en-ross.233.4) - [Next: 233.6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.kashmir.tarikh-i-rashidi~en-ross.233.6) - [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.233.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.kashmir.tarikh-i-rashidi~en-ross.233.5) · Pramāṇa
