The Tarikh-i-Rashidi (Elias, Ross) 60 - **Language:** English ### [60](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.kashmir.tarikh-i-rashidi~en-ross.60) When Mirza Ulugh Beg heard of the approach of Irazan Barin and Mirak Turkoman, he set out from Samarkand to meet them. On their arrival, he promised to supply them with provisions, and said : " Every household must come into the fort separately, where the members will have their names written down; each Moghul will receive an ass's load of provisions and then pass on." Thus, hopeful of supplies, the people entered, but when they arrived at another door they were obliged to wait. Then their chiefs were killed and the rest of them were taken prisoners. Of all that entered the fort no one came out again to tell his story. Mirza Ulugh Beg finished this business in a few days, and then despatched Yunus Khan, with a fifth of the spoil, to his father Mirza Shah Rukh. The Khan was kindly treated — more like a son than a prisoner. He was sent to Maulana Sharaf-ud-Din Yazdi, that under him he might continue his studies. Many of the Maulana's verses and Kassidas are dedicated to the Khan. He spent altogether twelve years with the Maulana, in the acquirement of science and letters. In fact, as long as the Maulana lived he remained with him, but on the death of the latter, he quitted Yazd and made a journey through Irak, Arabia and Fars. He was twenty-four when the Maulana died, and he returned to Moghulistan, as padishah, at the age of forty-one, as will be mentioned below (if God will). - [Previous: 59](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.kashmir.tarikh-i-rashidi~en-ross.59) - [Next: 61](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.kashmir.tarikh-i-rashidi~en-ross.61) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.kashmir.tarikh-i-rashidi~en-ross.60](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.kashmir.tarikh-i-rashidi~en-ross.60) · Pramāṇa
