The Tarikh-i-Rashidi (Elias, Ross) 87 - **Language:** English ### [87](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.kashmir.tarikh-i-rashidi~en-ross.87) The Khan, being firmly established in Tashkand, begged the daughter of Sultan Ahmad Mirza—Karaguz Begum—in marriage for his son Sultan Mahmud Khan. The arrival of Karaguz Begum will be mentioned hereafter. But in the interim Sultan Yunus Khan was seized with paralysis, was bedridden for nearly two years and died, suffering, at the age of seventy-four. No other Chaghatai Khakan ever reached such an advanced age: most of them, indeed, died before they reached the age of forty. The Khan was born in 818 and died in 892. He was buried near the tomb of Purnur Shaikh, Khawand-i-Tuhur \[Master of Purification\], in Tashkand; and a large mausoleum was built over the spot, which stands to this day and is very renowned. During his illness, the Khan heard that Muhammad Haidar Mirza had gone from Badakhshan to Samarkand, so he sent to summon the Mirza to him. Muhammad Haidar Mirza left Samarkand, came to the Khan, and waited on him throughout his illness. He was a skilled surgeon and physician. The Khan, during this period, would not allow Muhammad Haidar Mirza out of his presence for one hour; and he treated the Mirza's children with hospitality. The Mirza's son, Muhammad Husain Mirza, who had remained with Omar Shaikh Mirza, had gone to Sultan Mahmud Khan in Andijan, before Muhammad Haidar Mirza had come \[to attend on the Khan\]. He lived always in the same house and room as the Khan, as shall be related below. - [Previous: 86.6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.kashmir.tarikh-i-rashidi~en-ross.86.6) - [Next: 88](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.kashmir.tarikh-i-rashidi~en-ross.88) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.kashmir.tarikh-i-rashidi~en-ross.87](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.kashmir.tarikh-i-rashidi~en-ross.87) · Pramāṇa
