They were both drowned on entering the stream. Amir Sayyid Ali, keeping hold of the Khan's bridle with one hand, did his best to save these two men with the other, but could not reach them. The Khán declared he could distinguish their red and blue jackets deep down in the water. Vais Khan gave Amir Sayyid Ali five presents — one for each \[of the following\] acts. (I.) He had given his horse to the Khan and had himself remained on foot. (II.) He had seized the Kalmák. (III.) He had used him as a shield for a whole farsákh. (IV.) He had brought the Khan fully armed and mounted across the River Ailah. (V.) Although he had hold of the Khan, he twice stretched out his hand to save the drowning men. The Khan then added: "I know that the Amir has such strength that if one of my cousins had been able to seize him by the hand, the Amir would have saved him too, and brought him across the water." In consideration of these five actions, he gave the Amir five Aimaks as a reward. 1. Turkat. 2. Hibat Shira Sut. 3. Uzbeg, a tribe of Khotan. 4. Darugha, also a tribe of Khotan. 5. Kukanit, also a tribe of Khotan. Sultan Vais Khan had another combat with Isan Taishi, in the vicinity of Turfan, and was again defeated and taken prisoner. - [Previous: 56.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.kashmir.tarikh-i-rashidi~en-ross.56.2) - [Next: 56.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.kashmir.tarikh-i-rashidi~en-ross.56.4) - [Up: 56](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.kashmir.tarikh-i-rashidi~en-ross.56) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.kashmir.tarikh-i-rashidi~en-ross.56.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.kashmir.tarikh-i-rashidi~en-ross.56.3) · Pramāṇa
