257.2.6

Jamukah, the Sa-shlik of the Jajar-ats, bore him great enmity of old, and he maligned Tamur-chi to Sangun, the son of the Awang Khan, and convinced him that Tamur-chi sought to supplant him in his father’s favour, and in the succession to his kingdom. Guzidah, the Habib-us-Siyar, Tarikh-i-Hafiz Abru, and some other works, however, state that the wrath of the Awang Khan was raised against him through his asking of him a brother’s daughter in marriage for his son Juji, but some say it was on account of Tamur-chi not giving his own daughter, Kuchin Bigi, to the Awang Khan’s son, Sangun, that the negotiation broke down, and hostility arose. Juji did subsequently marry the damsel, and Tuli married another sister, and Tamur-chi, their father, married a third. Endeavours were now made to instigate the Awang Khan against Tamur-chi, but without effect at first. By repeated importunity on the part of the son, for even the dropping water at last wears the rock away, the conspirators succeeded in alienating the old ruler’s regard for Tamur-chi, and he entered into the design to seize him. These events are said to have taken place in 599 H.
