He represented as follows: "You left Kashghar on account of the unworthy treatment of your own people, whom you had served faithfully all your life: the result is evident. When you came to me, I treated you, in consideration of our relationship, like a brother — nay, even better: I entrusted the conduct of all my affairs to you and gave you full authority to appoint and displace, and generally to administer \[my dominion\]. If in these matters I have been guilty of any shortcoming, you must point it out to me, that I may make reparation. But do not, on the other hand, at such a crisis as this, when the enemy has the upper hand in my kingdom and disease in my body, withdraw the hand of brotherly compassion from acts of kindness; rather save me from these two imminent dangers, and accompany me to Lahur." Now the Emperor and myself had become friends, after the Moghal fashion, and he had given me the name of dust \[friend\]. In council he never addressed me by any other name, and on the farmáns it was written in this manner. No one of my brothers or the Sultans of the time, who had been in the Emperor's service, had ever been honoured in such a way as was I, Muhammad Haidar Kurkan, who being the approved friend of such a prince as the Emperor, was called not merely 'brother' but was chosen as dust. - [Previous: 243.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.kashmir.tarikh-i-rashidi~en-ross.243.2) - [Next: 243.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.kashmir.tarikh-i-rashidi~en-ross.243.4) - [Up: 243](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.kashmir.tarikh-i-rashidi~en-ross.243) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.kashmir.tarikh-i-rashidi~en-ross.243.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.kashmir.tarikh-i-rashidi~en-ross.243.3) · Pramāṇa
