284.2.4
After overrunning the country of Bolo the Shah-zadahs, and Amirs, during the [following] winter, assembled on the banks of the river Janan; and the Bahadur, Swidae [Sahudah], with a large force, was despatched into the country of Urus [also styled Rus], and the frontiers of Bulghar. He penetrated as far as the city of Kermak and overthrew the armies of that state, after much fighting, and brought it under subjection; and, the capital thereof having been reduced to wretchedness and desolation, the Amirs of that place came out, proceeded to the presence of the Shah-zadahs, and made their submission. They were well treated, received favours tribes of Khifchak, Kankuli, Yamak, Ilbari [Albari], Rus, and benefits, and were permitted to return [as vassals of the Mughals]. Again they became rebellious, and the Shah-zadahs again detached Swfdae [Sahudah]. He soon reduced the disaffected, and put all concerned in the outbreak to death. After these events a council was held by the Shah-zadahs, and it was agreed that each one, with the troops under him, should march towards different points [where this council was held is not stated], subdue such territories as lay in his way, and destroy the fortified places. Mangu, accordingly, continued to advance on the left hand towards Jirkah or Ghirkah keeping along the banks of the Jirkah or Chirkah river, and Bajman [This name is doubtful. It is written Najman, or Bajman Tahman and Uss without any points.
