The Nāṣirī Generations 284.1.2

284.1.2

After his return from the campaign in Kliitae, as previously mentioned, Oktae Ka’an held a great hlrT/iae, in 633 H., at a place named Talan Wasir, at which his sons, kinsmen, and the old Amirs of the Chingiz KhVn were present. After a month devoted to feasting and jollity, the laws and regulations of the Chingiz Ehan were read out once more ; and various rewards were given. It was then resolved that, as various parts of the empire had not been completely subjugated, and some were in a disturbed and disaffected state, each of his sons and kinsmen should be despatched at the head of armies into different parts, in order to arrange and settle their affairs, while the Ka’an himself would proceed into the Da§ht-i-KifchaV at the head of another army. Mangu, son of Tidl, although young in years at the time, gave very sound advice on this occasion. He urged that it was not advisable that the iKa’an should go thither when he had so many sons and kinsmen whom he could send instead. This was approved by all present j and arrangements were made in conformity therewith. The §Mh-zadahs appointed for this service were Mangu, Tuli Khan’s eldest son, and his brother Buchak [Kubllae is subsequently mentioned as being present, at least for part of the time, in the Dasht-i-Kifch^t] ; of the family of tJktae, his eldest son, Kyuk, and his brother, Kladan Aghfil, and Burl, Baidar, and Kolkan, sons of Chaghatae : and among the great Amirs was the BahMur, Swidae, also written Swidan {Sahudah].
