The Book of Akbar 111.2

111.2

Jamuqa, chief of the Jājarat tribe, joined with Sanku, the son of Avang Khan, to speak evil of him and they devised falsehoods against him whereby the heart of Avang Khān was drawn away from the right path and he began to entertain evil thoughts. Temucin became alarmed and escaped from that danger by the counsels and assistance of Qaracār Nuyan. Twice were great battles fought between them in which Temucin was victorious. When in his 49th, or as some say, his 50th year, he, in Ramazan 599 (May-June 1203), attained the rank of a sovereign and ruler of the world. When three years of his reign and rule had passed But Tengri, a seer of the invisible world and herald of the Divine Court, was inspired to give Temucin the title of Cingiz Khan or king of kings. Day by day, the star of his fortune rose higher and higher and year by year, the lightning of his majesty became more vivid. He acquired sway over all Cathay, Khotan, Northern and Southern China (Cīn u Mācīn), the desert of Qibcaq, Saqsin, Bulgaria, As, Russia, Alan, etc. He had four sons, Juji, Caghatai, Okadai, Tuli. He placed with Juji the management of feasts and hunting. Judiciary matters (yarghu) and the carrying out of punishment, in which administrative government is involved, were committed to the wisdom of Caghatai. Government and political matters were assigned to Okadai. The management of military affairs and the protection of the camp were made over to Tuli.
