TUMINAH-I—also written Tumnah or Tuminah—TŪMĪNAH—and Tuminah—He was a powerful chieftain, and added other territories of Turkistan to his own, brought the whole of the Nurun or Nairun tribes under his authority \[this seems to indicate that part of them had been independent some time previously\], and in all Turkistan \[sic in MS. but probably Mughalistan\] there was no sovereign equal in power to him. He had two Khatuns, by one of whom he had seven, and, by the other, two sons, who were twins. These twins were named Ka-juli—also written Ka-chuli—and Kabal—also called Kabali. In consequence of a strange dream which Tuminah-i had, when its interpretation was told him, he made these two sons enter into a solemn compact, whereby it was agreed between them, in their father’s presence, that the sovereignty should pertain to Ḳabal and his descendants, and the Deputyship or Lieutenancy, and leadership of the troops to Ka-juli and his progeny. A compact to this effect was drawn up in the I-ghuri language—which is said to be the same as was in use in Tibbat, and written in what are called Tangut characters, signed by them both, and deposited in the treasury. Abu-l-Ghazi does not mention this circumstance at all. Aghuz Khan is said to have made a similar arrangement with respect to his six sons—styled the Bardz-uḳ and Udz-uḳ, but, when all perished but two persons, the compact terminated. - [Previous: 251.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.251.4) - [Next: 251.6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.251.6) - [Up: 251](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.251) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.251.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.251.5) · Pramāṇa
