so that on the morrow not a single man of the army of Jatah—that is to say, Moghulistan—was found in the camp. But our victorious soldiers followed in their pursuit, and put to death many of those heretics. When the sun had risen, Amir Timur arrived on the spot with the rest of the army. He thereupon sent Amir Sayyid Daud, Husain and Uch Kara Bahadur in pursuit of the enemy. In accordance with his orders, they followed the course of the river, and Husain was drowned in the river. On reaching the enemy's country they began to ravage and pillage, and seized many of their horses. But they spared those Hazaras who submitted, and having disarmed them sent them on to Samarkand. Amir Timur advanced as far as Baitak with the purpose of meeting the enemy, while he sent Amir Zada Jahangir with one regiment to look for Kamaruddin, that he might defeat him and take him prisoner. The prince accordingly set out with a body of men, and laid waste the country of Uch and Firman. He came upon Kamaruddin in the mountains and pursued him beyond the limits of his own country; he also captured much booty and took many prisoners. Among the latter were Tuman Agha, the wife of Kamaruddin and her daughter, Dilshad Agha. The prince sent news of his success to Amir Timur, who during fifty-three days had not moved from Baitak. When, however, this joyful intelligence reached his ears he immediately set out for Kara Kasmak, which hill he ascended and awaited the happy return of his son Jahangir.
