84.5

Entrusting the rest of the Moghuls to the care of Sultan Mahmud Khan, he sent them back to Moghulistan, while he himself made his winter quarters in Ush, and appointed Muhammad Haidar Mirza as administrator [rdli]. When Sultan Ahmad Mirza heard of the arrival of the Khan, he abandoned his project. And thus Omar Shaikh was rendered safe from his brother. When winter had passed, the Khan came again to Moghulistan. [On the eve of his departure] the Khan said to the Mirza : "You have always suffered great annoyance in Moghulistan. I have now given you this country of Ush. Stay here till next winter, when I will return. [In the meanwhile] govern the country, as my deputy." He then left for Moghulistan, while Muhammad Haidar Mirza remained in Ush. The Mirza begged his own son, Muhammad Husain Mirza, of the Khan, and kept him at his side.
