Now, as Mirzá Ulugh Beg had suffered much annoyance from the Moghuls, and was continually engaged in repressing them, he immediately mounted his horse and set out \[for Moghulistán\]. When he reached a famous town in Moghulistán called Chu, the Amir having deserted his own troops, joined Mirzá Ulugh Beg; and, in consequence, the Moghuls were scattered in every direction. When the Amir met Mirzá Ulugh Beg, he said to him: "I committed this act because I could not obtain leave to go to Mekka: this was my excuse for coming over to you, but now I don't see fit to go." They then left that place, the Mirzá treating the Amir with all possible honour and respect. When they reached Samarkand, Mirzá Ulugh Beg said to Amir Khudáidád: "There is no one who knows so much about the Turah of Chingiz Khán as you do; I beg you to tell me all its regulations, as I have a great desire to know all about it." The Amir replied: "We have completely discarded the infamous Turah of Chingiz Khan, and have adopted the Shariat \[or Muhammadan Law\]. If, however, Mirza Ulugh Beg, in spite of his common sense and good judgment, approves the Turah of Chingiz Khan, I will teach it him, that he may adopt it and forsake the Shariat." The Mirza was much perturbed at these words, and did not learn the Turah. - [Previous: 57.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.kashmir.tarikh-i-rashidi~en-ross.57.2) - [Next: 57.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.kashmir.tarikh-i-rashidi~en-ross.57.4) - [Up: 57](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.kashmir.tarikh-i-rashidi~en-ross.57) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.kashmir.tarikh-i-rashidi~en-ross.57.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.kashmir.tarikh-i-rashidi~en-ross.57.3) · Pramāṇa
