He had been a beg also of Sl. Abū-sa\`īd Mīrzā and had surrendered Karmān to him when the Mīrzā took the \`Irāq countries. When Abā-bikr Mīrzā (\_Mīrān-shāhī\_) came \[Sidenote: Fol. 30.\] against Ḥiṣār with Mazīd Beg Tarkhān and the Black Sheep Turkmāns, and Sl. Maḥmūd Mīrzā went off to his elder brother, Sl. Aḥmad Mīrzā in Samarkand, Maḥmūd \_Barlās\_ did not surrender Ḥiṣār but held out manfully.\[266\] He was a poet and put a \_dīwān\_ together. (\_i. Historical narrative resumed\_). When Sl. Maḥmūd Mīrzā died, Khusrau Shāh kept the event concealed and laid a long hand on the treasure. But how could such news be hidden? It spread through the town at once. That was a festive day for the Samarkand families; soldier and peasant, they uprose in tumult against Khusrau Shāh. Aḥmad Ḥājī Beg and the Tarkhānī begs put the rising down and turned Khusrau Shāh out of the town with an escort for Ḥiṣār. As Sl. Maḥmūd Mīrzā himself after giving Ḥiṣār to Sl. Mas\`ūd Mīrzā and Bukhārā to Bāī-sunghar Mīrzā, had dismissed both to their governments, neither was present when he died. The Ḥiṣār and Samarkand begs, after turning Khusrau Shāh out, agreed to send for Bāī-sunghar Mīrzā from Bukhārā, brought him to Samarkand and seated him on the throne. When he thus became supreme (\_pādshāh\_), he was 18 (lunar) years old. - [Previous: 900.2.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.900.2.5) - [Next: 900.2.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.900.2.7) - [Up: 900.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.900.2) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.900.2.6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.babur.baburnama~en-beveridge.900.2.6) · Pramāṇa
