Darkae added, as a reason for invading it, that it was near by, was that is to say here, unreduced and independent, and that it had hitherto been disregarded by them. This was not correct, however, if, as previously mentioned, the Mughals call this Tingnash or Biktash by the name of Kara-Jang, for that was invaded and plundered by the Mughal troops under Kubilae and Mukali, the Ko-yang, just before. Mangu Ka’an, in reply to this advice, remarked, that each of his uncles and brothers had subdued some country or other, and he would do the same \[he had already done so in the campaigns in the west under Batu Khan, but before he succeeded to the throne\], so, in the sixth year of his reign, in Muharram, 653 H. — February, 1254 A.D. — he determined to go to war with Tchukau \[possibly, Tchukang\], the Faghfur — the particular title given by Muhammadan writers to the ruler of Chin, but what language it is, is not said. Mangu accordingly left Artuk — or Artugh — sometimes written Irtuk and Irtugh — Bukah, his next younger brother, in charge of the uluses and urdus, and associated with him his eldest son, whose name is written in many ways equally uncertain — Asormaktay, Asorangtash, and Asomigias; but, as he makes no figure whatever in history, it is immaterial. - [Previous: 288.2.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.288.2.2) - [Next: 288.2.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.288.2.4) - [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.288.2.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.288.2.3) · Pramāṇa
