242.4

Malik Kashlī Khān-i-Ī-bak was the younger brother, and the Khān-i-Mu’azzam, Ulugh Khān-i-A’zam, the elder. At this time the [future] Malik and Amīr-i-Hājib was of tender years; and, when they [the tribe], decamped before the Mughals, on their way was marshy ground, and the [future] Malik, the Amīr-i-Hājib, in the night, fell out of the waggon, in which he was, into the mud, and no one had the power to take him out of the quagmire, because the Mughals were at their heels. They urged forward their waggons, and he [the child] remained in that same place [where he fell]. Ulugh Khān returned to the spot where his little brother was, and took him up. A second time the Mughals came up behind them, and the [future] Malik, the Amīr-i-Hājib, fell into their hands.
