One year after this event, news of the victory gained by Shdhi Beg Khdn over Sultdn Mahmud Khdn reached him. Prompted by brotherly love, he set out to offer his services to his distinguished brother. Leaving his eldest son, Mansur Khdn, in his own place, and giving him the style of Khdn, he took his two other sons, Sultdn Said Khdn and Bdbdjdk Khdn, with him to Tdshkand. The two Khdns met in Tdshkand, and exchanged the salutations and formalities usual on such occasions. (An account of this matter is to be found in Part II.) In short, they discussed how they might frustrate the plans of Shdhi Beg Khdn, and finally a battle took place between the latter and the two Khdns, at Akhsi, in which the two Khdns were defeated, and both of them made prisoners. Shahi Beg Khan, observing the duties of the situation, permitted them both to return to Moghulistan; but the greater part of the Moghul Ulus he would not allow to depart. These two Khans went to Moghulistan, passing that winter in Aksu. [There] Sultan Ahmad Khan was attacked with so violent a paralytic seizure, that the doctors were unable to relieve him, and he died in the winter of the year 909 [1503-4].
