After this victory Taimur-i-lang returned to Kabul. Finding himself [61] master of great wealth, with great experience in warfare, he made up his mind to march against the great Bayazid (Bayazid) the Second. Passing through Persia he appeared preoccupied. His generals asked the reason, assuming that he was in doubt of succeeding well. They said to him that there was no occasion for depression; he was already accustomed to conquer, and had with him valiant and veteran soldiers under invincible commanders. Taimur-i-lang replied with the greatest calmness that he had never had any anxiety about victory over the Persians, but what he was in search of was a suitable governor to place over Turkey instead of Bayazid. He assumed that he had already got the latter in the cage. I shall not write here the doings of Taimur-i-lang against Bayazid, many authors having written about them. All I will say is that after so many and such great victories, he became desirous of invading Hindustan, and taking possession of all these realms; he marched through his kingdoms, and a little time after his arrival died at Kabul.
