Without waiting to ask permission, he rushed into the presence of Mangu Ka'an, and before all those there assembled cried out: "Here are ye all occupied in amusement and mirth, while foes have arisen against ye, and are close at hand!" and he related what he had beheld and heard. Mangu would not believe it; and the Shah-zadahs and Amirs present thought Kashak must be exaggerating; nevertheless, the Nu-yin, Mungusar, or Mangusar, the principal of Mangu's Nu-yins, was despatched, with 2000 or 3000 horse, to gain information. When the next morning broke, Mungusar pushed on, at the head of 500 chosen horse, nearer to the position where the camp of the rebels was situated, and while he was reconnoitring a large body of horsemen were observed approaching. It was Shiramun and his party, issuing from their camp. Mungusar was soon joined by the Shah-zadah, Muka, and the Gurgan, Chuchal, the Karayit, and an additional force despatched by Mangu to his support, and they completely surrounded Shiramun, Naku, and Kunuku. The Fanakati says Mangu, on becoming aware of this, despatched the Nu-yin, Mungusar, with 3000 men, to meet them, and that he met Shiramun at the head of 500 horse, despatched by the conspirators in advance.
