The Nāṣirī Generations 257.4.5

257.4.5

After Tamur-chi had been thus successful over the Tayanak Khan, in this battle, the tribes and families in confederacy with the Naeman sovereign, being without a head, for the most part submitted to Tamur-chi’s sway, but the Naemans became dispersed, and the Bigi, Tukta, the Wali or sovereign of the Makrits, was still hostile. Tamur-chi marched against him, and speedily overthrew him, and reduced the whole tribe of Makrit to subjection; but the Bigi, Tukta, with Koshluk, the Tayanak Khan’s son, sought an asylum with Bue-Ruk, the Naeman, elder brother of the latter, as detailed farther on. Most of the accounts of Tamur-chi’s proceedings, after the overthrow of the Tayanak Khan, are somewhat obscure and confused, but the authorities quoted in the Tarikh-i-Alfi throw considerable light upon these events. I must refer to them briefly, leaving numerous details of the life of the Chingiz Khan, both here, as well as elsewhere, in these notes, for some future day, when I hope to give them in proper order, and detail.
