The first victim of these pretended predictions was Bue-Ruk, brother of the Tayanak Khan, to whom Koshluk, the latter’s son, and the Makrit chief, the Bigi, Tukta, had fled for shelter. Bue-Ruk, after he had made such preparations as he was able for resistance, aided by the Makrits, was surprised by a body of Mughals whilst engaged in the chase, in the neighbourhood of Awaj Tak or Tagh [Habib-us-Siyar has Ulugh Tagh] at a place called Suja—Suja river?—like the quarry in the net of the fowler, and carried off to the camp of the Chingiz Khan, and was forthwith put to death. Some say he was killed in the shikar-gah, or hunting-ground. Rashid-ud-Din says he was surprised “after making a slight resistance,” which is rather improbable. His tribe on this dispersed, and Koshluk, and the Bigi, Tukta, after directing their followers to disperse and rejoin them, with as many others as possible, at a certain rendezvous in Ardish, fled also to a place on the frontier of the Naiman country.
