271.3.8

It is likewise stated, as a wonderful fact, that, in that same year, that plain——thus showing that it was a plain, and neither “a mountain” nor “a cave”—became totally destitute of grass on account of the numerous trees of various kinds which grew up therein, and soon became such a dense forest of Islam, this Tingri Khan held counsel with his Maliks that one could not pass through it ; and, the place being alike inaccessible and interdicted from curiosity, the exact whereabouts of the burial-place of the Chingiz Khan became wholly unknown. Tuli his son, who died about four years after, was also buried there. The Habib-us-Siyar distinctly states that the Chingiz Khan’s body was taken back to Kara-Kuram and buried in that neighbourhood, and that no human being was permitted to invade the spot ; and this agrees with what other authors state, as given above, and the burial customs of the Mughals.
