257.5.3

In the month of Rajab [the seventh] 602 H., corresponding to the Mughal year of the Leopard—but the Mughal, Abul-Ghāzī, Bahādur Khān, says, the year of the Hog—and to the month of February, 1206 A.D., when Tamur-chī was, it is said, by several historians, in the 49th year of his age, but he was really just 52 years and 7 months old, dating from the day of his birth, he commanded that a kurīltāe, or general assembly, of all the Mughal tribes in subjection to him should meet at a certain place, the name of which is not recorded. It was very probably Samān or Samān Kaharah, where he, three years before, assumed the Khān-ship, and this may have been the cause why so many authors confuse these two different events, and make one of them. There, accordingly, his sons, all his Nū-yīns and Amīrs, from the parts around, of the Tomāns, Hazārahs, Sadahs, and Dahahs, assembled together, and a great feast was made. He then set up a white Tūgh or Tugh—standard—consisting of nine degrees, or tails, indicated by as many tails of the ghaz gau, or bos grunniens, mentioned at page 68, and he was seated on a high throne with a diadem on his head.
