In Decr., 1252 A.D. \[Shawwal, the tenth month of 650 H.\], Hu-pi-lay was directed to attack Tai-li-Fu, in Yun-nan, and took along with him the general Hu-lyang-hotay \[Mukali?\], and Yanshi \[Mahmud, Yalwaj ?\]. About the same time envoys arrived at the urdu from Intu or Hintu \[Hind\], to render homage. This was about the very time that Malik Sher Khan-i-Sunkar, the cousin of Ulugh Khan-i-A’zam, left his fief of Tabarhindah, withdrew from Hind, and proceeded to the presence of Mangu Ka’an. See pages 695, 784, 792, 798, and note page 1223. In the same year—650 H.—Mangu Ka’an began to consider in what direction he should himself lead an army, and, therefore, he held another great feast at which the Shah-zadahs and Amirs appeared. This was held at a place called Kortukui Jiwan—the Jidan doubtless, referred to in note page 912, para. 4—which is situated in the middle of Mughalistan. This is the place where, according to tradition, Kublah Khan, the eighth of the Buzanjar dynasty \[see the note on the descent of the Turks, Tattars, and Mughals, page 896, para. 6\], and his followers, danced so much in the hollow of a tree, after he had obtained success over the Tattars, and the Altan forces, when he avenged his brother, Ukin-Barkak's death. - [Previous: 288.2.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.288.2.1) - [Next: 288.2.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.288.2.3) - [Up: 288.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.288.2) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.288.2.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.288.2.2) · Pramāṇa
