94.6

These two places, since their destruction [viran] by Mirza Aba Bakr and Jabar Birdi, had fallen into desolation and ruin. But Babajak came and cultivated the ground, and restored the fort which had been destroyed. Then Mansur Khan came against Babajak Sultan, and in the first place, tried to bring him to terms of peace, but Babajak said : " How can I put any trust in you ? Aiman Khwaja Sultan was also your brother, and you slew him like an enemy : I have no longer any faith in you." Then Mansur Khan repented of having killed Aiman Khwaja Sultan, and could make no reply. But Yaraka Ataka interposed : " I had the presumption to act in opposition to your orders, and kept your brother alive." Mansur Khan was very grateful, and on account of this action, raised Yaraka Ataka to a very high rank. He then sent Aiman Khwaja Sultan to Babajak Sultan, who thereupon came and offered submission to the Khan, and made terms of peace. In the meanwhile, news arrived of the victory Sultan Said Khan had obtained over Mirza Aba Bakr, and of his conquest of Kashghar. Babajak Sultan sent Aiman Khwaja Sultan to Said Khan, who was rejoiced at his coming. (Babajak Sultan and Mansur Khan were born of the same mother ; as were also Sultan Said Khan and Aiman Khwaja Khan.) This is related more fully in Part II.
