899.4.2

There was Khudāī-bīrdī _Tūghchī Tīmūr-tāsh_, a descendant of the brother of Āq-būghā Beg, the Governor of Hīrī (Herāt, for Timūr Beg.) When Sl. Abū-sa`īd Mīrzā, after besieging Jūkī Mīrzā (_Shāhrukhī_) in Shāhrukhiya (868AH.-1464AD.) gave the Farghāna country to `Umar Shaikh Mīrzā, he put this Khudāī-bīrdī [Sidenote: Fol. 13.] Beg at the head of the Mīrzā's Gate.[160] Khudāī-bīrdī was then 25 but youth notwithstanding, his rules and management were very good indeed. A few years later when Ibrāhīm _Begchīk_ was plundering near Aūsh, he followed him up, fought him, was beaten and became a martyr. At the time, Sl. Aḥmad Mīrzā was in the summer pastures of Āq Qāchghāī, in Aūrā-tīpā, 18 _yīghāch_ east of Samarkand, and Sl. Abū-sa`īd Mīrzā was at Bābā Khākī, 12 _yīghāch_ east of Hīrī. People sent the news post-haste to the Mīrzā(s),[161] having humbly represented it through `Abdu'l-wahhāb _Shaghāwal_. In four days it was carried those 120 _yīghāch_ of road.[162]
