I–II 111.1 - **Language:** English ### [111.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.akbar.akbarnama~en-beveridge.111.1) Qaracar Nuyan was the noble son of Sughu Cijan and was of kingly mind and princely bearing. In the year of the Hog 562 (1167), Yesugai Bahadur died and in the same year, Temucin became thirteen and Sughu Cijan, the centre of the sovereignty and administration and leader of the armies, marched nearly contemporaneously with this, to the camp of annihilation. Qaracar Nuyan was then of tender age. The Nairun tribe left Temucin and joined the Taijiuts so that Temucin was in difficulties and entangled in misfortunes. At length, by heaven's aid, he was rescued from these whirlpools and terrible dangers and waged war with the Jamuqa, Taijut, Qanqarat, Jalair and other tribes. When he was over thirty, he became head of his own clan and family (the Nairun). On account of the opposition of various rulers of Turkistan, he went in his fortieth year, by the advice of Qaracar Nuyan to Avang Khan, the chief of the Kerayat tribe and who had an old friendship with Yesugai Bahadur. Temucin did good service for him and displayed pre-eminent excellence. His favour and intimacy with him and the loftiness of his rank came to such a point that the sweet savour of his sincerity was made fragrant by the pastile of friendship so that the great officers and relatives (of Avang Khan) became jealous. - [Previous: 110](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.akbar.akbarnama~en-beveridge.110) - [Next: 111.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.akbar.akbarnama~en-beveridge.111.2) - [Up: 111](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.akbar.akbarnama~en-beveridge.111) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.akbar.akbarnama~en-beveridge.111.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.akbar.akbarnama~en-beveridge.111.1) · Pramāṇa
