I sent \[to Tangi Sakab\], seventy men under the command of Maulana Darvish Muhammad Kara Tagh, who enjoyed the entire confidence of the Chui of Tibet, and Nur Ali Divana, one of the most promising young soldiers, and who had turned back to rejoin me. Nearly two months were passed in exchange of messages before a decision was arrived at. Mahmud Mirza's wound had opened afresh, and it became quite impossible for him to remain in Zangskar, on account of the severity of the weather. So I was obliged to send him back to Maryul, while I remained in Zangskar, in order that, as soon as he had reached Maryul in safety, I might myself proceed to Suru, where I hoped to find some means of existence. When Mahmud reached the spot where he had received the kick from his horse, he halted for the night, and on the morrow, as he was about to mount, he exposed his head to apply the dressing. The cold got into the wound and, fainting away, he became insensible. At noontide prayers a person came and informed me of his condition. I at once set out in all haste to see him. I arrived at midnight and found him unconscious. On the following day he came to himself and entirely recovered consciousness. The next day also, he was conscious, but on the third day he began to talk incoherently, and two nights later he died. - [Previous: 238.8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.kashmir.tarikh-i-rashidi~en-ross.238.8) - [Next: 238.10](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.kashmir.tarikh-i-rashidi~en-ross.238.10) - [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.238.9](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.kashmir.tarikh-i-rashidi~en-ross.238.9) · Pramāṇa
