After the death of Vais Khan, the tribe of the Moghuls fell into great disorder. But they became more tranquil when they learnt the news of the death of Satuk Khan. Vais Khan left two sons, Yunus Khan and Isan Bugha Khan. Yunus Khan was the elder, and [at his father's death] was thirteen years of age. There arose a dispute among the princes [as to who should succeed]. There were two men named Irazan Barin and Mirak Turkoman, who had first of all been in the service of Amir Khudaidad, and afterwards in that of his son Mir Muhammad Shah; but at the death of Vais Khan, these two men had separated themselves from Mir Muhammad Khan [Shah?], by force of arms, and having attached themselves to Yunus Khan, began to stir up rebellion in his favour; while the rest of the people were on the side of Isan Bugha. But as most of the generals were on the side of Isan Bugha Khan, it became impossible for the party of Yunus to remain in Moghulistan. So Irazan and Mirak Turkoman, together with thirty thousand households and Yunus Khan, set out for Samarkand, while Isan Bugha Khan and the rest of the Moghuls remained in Moghulistan.
