At page 92 of Mongols Proper the author, immediately after stating that “Jagatai and Ogotai went to hunt Kukus and Karaguls (i.e. wild swans and antelopes)”—I have already stated how Chagatae and Uktae employed the winter near Bukhara—says that, “On the banks of the Imil he (Jingis) was met by two of his grandsons, afterwards very celebrated, namely, Kubilai \[he is afterwards styled Khubilai\] and Khulagu, one eleven and the other nine years old. They had killed their first game, and, according to Mongol custom, Jingis pricked their middle fingers to mix some blood with their food and drink, a kind of baptism of the chase. Afterwards he gave his army a fete, at a place called Buka Suchiku, and reached his Ordu or home \[camp?\] in the month of February, 1225.” This appears to have been taken from Erdmann, and, at page 99, this fete is again territories of Chin, Tamghaj, and Tingit, were in a state of revolt, and that, on account of the very great distance \[of the Chingiz Khan from the scene\], those kingdoms were about to pass out of the hands of the Mughal governors. The Chingiz Khan, on account of this information, became anxious in mind, and he consequently set out on his return by way of Lob and the country of Tibbat. - [Previous: 271.1.p2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.271.1.p2) - [Next: 271.2.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.271.2.2) - [Up: 271.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.271.2) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.271.2.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.271.2.1) · Pramāṇa
