The Book of Akbar 112: Aijal Nuyan.

112

Aijal Nuyan was the most distinguished for wisdom and godliness of Qaracar Nuyan's ten children. During the reign of Qara Hulagu he took, on account of his wisdom and vigour, the place of his father (Qaracar). In 662 (1264) he was confirmed on the divan of dominion. The Caghatai tribe (aim) was prosperous in his time, but as there was much opposition and strife among the descendants of Caghatai Khan, he got disgusted with affairs and settled in his ancestral city of Kesh until the time when Mangu Qa'an, son of Tuli Khan, son of Cingiz Khan, sent his brother Hulagu to Persia (Iran) and attached to him officers and men from each of the four tribes (alus) of Juji, Caghatai, Qkatai (Okadai) and Tuli. By universal request, Aijal Nuyan was selected from the Caghatai tribe and appointed as companion to Hulagu Khan. That Khan treated him with great respect and assigned Maragha-Tabriz to him.
