128.2.8

I heard from the Sayyid Baha-ud-Din — the mercy of the Almighty be upon him ! — [who said : — ] When we reached the presence of Chingiz Khan, the accursed, the Wazir of Tamghaj, and the son and the uncle of Altun Khan, were brought in, and we were summoned. Then, turning his face towards them, Chingiz said : — ‘ Behold, my affairs and my sovereignty have attained to such a pitch of grandeur. that the monarch of the [empire of the] setting sun has sent envoys unto me. In short,' said the Sayyid, 'when he sent us away, he requested that envoys on both sides, and merchants, and karwans, should constantly come and go, and bring and take away with them choice descriptions of arms, cloths, and stuffs, and other articles of value and elegance of both empires; and that between the two monarchs a permanent treaty should be maintained.'
