This book, beginning with an account of Tughluk Timur Khan (who was the first among the Moghul Khakans to be converted to Islam), down to Sultan Yunus Khan, is compiled from oral tradition and contemporary accounts, when they have not been found contradictory. Conflicting traditions have been omitted, on account of their probable inaccuracy. The history, from Yunus Khan down to the end of the reign of Sultan Said Khan, has been fully treated of in Part II. But in Part I. I have only given this portion of the history in epitome, as it is long, and much repetition would not embellish my work. As, however, there is no account of Abdur Rashid Khan in Part II., it is fitting to give it in this place. - [Previous: 98](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.kashmir.tarikh-i-rashidi~en-ross.98) - [Next: 99.1.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.kashmir.tarikh-i-rashidi~en-ross.99.1.2) - [Up: 99.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.kashmir.tarikh-i-rashidi~en-ross.99.1) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.kashmir.tarikh-i-rashidi~en-ross.99.1.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.kashmir.tarikh-i-rashidi~en-ross.99.1.1) · Pramāṇa
