I also wrote him a few lines, reminding him of our ancient bonds of friendship, and sent him as proof thereof, some old tokens we had interchanged. A dark coloured Arab pustin, and a steel haluka, both of which Rashid Sultan had given me, I now sent back to him, just as they were \[ba-jins\]. \[Verses\] . . . Towards the close of that winter Rashid Sultan sent Bidakan, son of my foster-brother Jan Ahmad Ataka, accompanied by Hasan Divana, to bear to me messages of apology and expressions of repentance. His past behaviour \[he admitted\] had been due to his ignorance, and was a cause for shame in this world and the next. He now frankly begged the forgiveness of his dear friend. He had sent Maulana Kudash with two hundred men, for my service. All those of my following who had gone over to him, might now return to me; no one should hinder them. He also sent me some horses and other gifts. I was not a little encouraged by these messages, and most of Tibet submitted. - [Previous: 238.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.kashmir.tarikh-i-rashidi~en-ross.238.4) - [Next: 238.6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.kashmir.tarikh-i-rashidi~en-ross.238.6) - [Up: 238](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.kashmir.tarikh-i-rashidi~en-ross.238) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.kashmir.tarikh-i-rashidi~en-ross.238.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.kashmir.tarikh-i-rashidi~en-ross.238.5) · Pramāṇa
