The second reason was this. When Chingiz Khan broke out into revolt in the land of Chin, and Tamghaj, and the Greater Turkistan, and Altun Khan of Tamghaj, who was sovereign of Upper Turkistan, and the lineal monarch of Kara Khita-i, was overcome by him, and the territories of Tamghaj, Tingit, and Yighur [I-ghur], and Tatar, all fell into his hands; the news of these successes having come to the hearing of Sultan Muhammad, his mind became filled with ambition [for the possession] of Chin, and he became desirous of obtaining authentic information respecting the forces of the Mughals, and the condition of Chingiz Khan. Accordingly, the most excellent Sayyid, Baha-ud-Din, Razi, with a party of other persons, were despatched on a mission to Chin; and, when these agents reached that country, Chingiz Khan sent trustworthy and confidential persons of his own, bearing numerous rarities as presents to Sultan Muhammad.
