The eldest was Mansur Khan, of whom I have just spoken. Next to him came Iskandar Sultan, who died a natural death, after his father. Then came Sultan Said Khan, who was fourteen years of age when Sultan Ahmad Khan went to \[the assistance of\] his elder brother, Sultan Mahmud Khan. He had taken with him, on this occasion, two of his sons; namely Sultan Said Khan and Babdjak Sultan. While the two Khans were together, Sultan Said Khan passed his days in the cell of instruction of my father, and under the kindly protection of my uncle. \[This lasted\] up to the time of the battle at Akhsi, between the two Khans and Shahi Beg Khan (which has been mentioned). In the flight which ensued, Sultan Said Khan was struck by an arrow in the thigh, and the bone was broken: so he threw himself onto a side path. After the flight and rout had subsided, some of the people of that district found him, but as his leg was broken, they did not remove him from where he lay. After a few days had passed, and he was almost recovered, they took him before Shaikh Bayazid, Governor of Akhsi. An account of Shaikh Bayazid and of his brother, Sultan Ahmad Tambal, will be found in Part II. Shaikh Bayazid kept Sultan Said Khan in prison. - [Previous: 95](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.kashmir.tarikh-i-rashidi~en-ross.95) - [Next: 96.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.kashmir.tarikh-i-rashidi~en-ross.96.2) - [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.96.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.kashmir.tarikh-i-rashidi~en-ross.96.1) · Pramāṇa
