Thanks to the Most High God, I came off victorious, and exterminated the whole army of Kashmir and the kings. I might also have subdued the whole of the country, had it not been for some of those malignant persons who, by their words and actions, throw things into disorder, and who rendered the further reduction of the country impossible. Peace was made with the kings of Kashmir, and the daughter of Muhammad Shah, the Padishah of Kashmir, was given in marriage to Iskandar Sultan, while the Khutba was read and the coins struck in the Khan's name. All the wealth of Kashmir, that it was possible to collect, was brought, in the spring following that winter, to the Khán in Tibet. The Khan, on my return, honoured me with every mark of royal benevolence and favour, and sent me to Ursang, which is the Kibla of Khitai and Tibet, while he himself set out for Kashghar. At the time of his arrival \[in Tibet\] he had become very weak and much reduced, from dam-giri, and during the whole period of his sojourn in Tibet he never quite recovered. Nevertheless, he was obliged, under any circumstances, to make the \[return\] journey. When he reached a spot where dam-giri was prevalent, his pious soul took flight to the regions of the blessed. This was at the close of the year 939. All this is fully related in Part II. of this History. - [Previous: 96.10](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.kashmir.tarikh-i-rashidi~en-ross.96.10) - [Next: 97.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.kashmir.tarikh-i-rashidi~en-ross.97.1) - [Up: 96](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.kashmir.tarikh-i-rashidi~en-ross.96) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.kashmir.tarikh-i-rashidi~en-ross.96.11](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.kashmir.tarikh-i-rashidi~en-ross.96.11) · Pramāṇa
