The Book of Akbar 111.6

111.6

When the drum of death was beat, the Khanship was made over to Okadai. The gist of this distressful occurrence is that when on the China expedition, he (Cingīz) had one night an intimation by a vision, that the time of leaving this mirage-like world was at hand. He called his sons, Qaracar Nuyan, the Commander-in-Chief, and the other nobles and pillars of his empire and after imparting to them counsels which might dominate mankind, he appointed Okadai as Khan. He sent to the treasury for the covenant which had been executed by Qaculi and Qabal Khan and which was the Altamgha of Tumana Khan and which his high-souled predecessors had successively signed, and had it read before the noble assembly. He observed, "I swore to this deed together with Qaracar Nuyan, do you also fulfil its conditions." He also had another deed drawn up between Okadai and his other sons and his kinsmen and made it over to Okadai.
