The Tarikh-i-Rashidi (Elias, Ross) 48

### [48](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.kashmir.tarikh-i-rashidi~en-ross.48)

No sooner had these victorious troops returned from their attack on Jatah (or Moghulistan), than Amir Timur resolved to make yet another expedition into that country, that same year. He sent forward, as an advance party, Muhammad Beg, son of Musa (who, on account of his connection by marriage with Amir Timur, had a high opinion of himself), Amir Abbas and Ak Timur Bahadur. Marching, in obedience to orders, day and night, they came up with Kamaruddin at Bugham Issigh-Kul, and after a fierce fight, put him to flight. They then ravaged his country, and took his men prisoners. Amir Timur himself pursued Kamaruddin as far as Euchkar.  
At this place news reached the Emperor's ears that Toktamish Oghlan, having lost his faith in Urus Khan, had come in hopes \[of good treatment\] to pay his respects at court. The Emperor at once commanded the Amir Tuman, Timur Uzbeg, to go and meet Toktamish with all possible honour and ceremony, and accompany him back. Amir Timur returned from the direction of Inaghu and alighted at Uzkand. Thence he reached Samarkand in safety.  
On his arrival at the capital, Toktamish Oghlan was brought before him by Timur Uzbeg and others of the nobles. Amir Timur received him with affection, and with all the honour due to a prince, none of the prescribed ceremonies being neglected; for after he had given a great feast in Toktamish Oghlan's honour, he loaded him and his retinue with magnificent presents, such as gold and jewels, robes of honour and girdles; arms, armour, horses, camels, tents, cymbals \[kus\], chargers, slaves, standards, and such like things; and as a proof of the extent of the love he bore him, the Emperor paid him the honour of calling him his son.
