257.2.4
On becoming aware of this, the Awang Khan and Tamur-chi got ready their forces; and, at a place near the Biyur Nawar—the Lake of Biyur—the hostile forces came to an engagement, and the Awang Khan and Tamur-chi completely overthrew the confederates, and brought their necks within the yoke of subjection. Hafiz Abru states, however, that Tamur-chi fought a battle with the Bigi, Tukta, the chief of the Makrits, in 593 H., at a place near the Karas Muran [i. e. river] before Kalur-an, and near the river Salingah; another, in concert with the Awang Khan, in 594 H., at Tuku Kahrah; and, again, in 596 H., after the Bigi, Tukta, had escaped from the bonds of the Awang Khan, which is the battle near the lake Biyur already mentioned above. Several other affairs in 597 and 598 H. are mentioned by the same author, which are too long for insertion here, but I may mention that Jamukah—who had been set up as Badshah by several of the tribes, such as Angiras and Kurlas, Kunghur-at, Durman, Katghin, Saljiut, and some Tatar tribes, with the title of Gur Khan—was overthrown at Sadi-Kurgan in the former year, and the Kunghur-ats submitted to his authority.
