Báyezid was contemporary with the lord Mirzá Muhammed Hakim, the son of the lord Humáyún Pádshah. The author of this book has heard from Mirza sháh Muhammed, surnamed Ghazni Khán, the following account: “It was in the year of the Hejira 949 (A. D. 1542-3), that Miyàn Róshen gained strength and established his sect. My father, _Sháh Baighkán_ Arghún, surnamed Khán-Dourán, said, he saw Míyán Báyezíd before his rising in rebellion, when he was brought to the court of Mirzá Muhammed Hakím, and the learned were confounded in the dispute with him, wherefore they let him take his departure on equitable terms.”[31] In the beginning of the year of the Hejira 994 (A. D. 1585-6) the intelligence of the death of the lord Mirzá Muhammed Hakim reached from Kabul, the ear of the Lord, dwelling in the ninth heaven. The sepulchre of Báyezid is at Bhatakpùr, in the hilly country of the Afghans. [29] Bayezid Ansari is said to have been the first author who wrote in the _Pashtu_, or Afghan language. [30] بی میانجی جبریل It is by mistake, it appears, that we find in Doctor Leyden’s translation: “The All-just addressed him _through_ “_Miyanji Jabrayil_:” and the note referring to this passage is not applicable to it. [31] Bayezid, after having obtained the adherence of several tribes of the Afghans, established himself in _Hashtanagar_, “eight townships,” in the middle of _Pokhtanga_, or Afghanistan, perhaps the country of the ancient _Aspagani_, mentioned by Pliny, and took his residence at _Kaleder_, in the district of Omazei, where he founded a city. From thence, under the title of _Pír roshán_, “master of light,” he issued proclamations to increase the number of his followers. Having become formidable to the government of the Moghuls, _Mahsan khan ghazí_, a chief of great merit, by a sudden irruption into Hashtanagar, seized the person of Bayezid, and carried him to Kabul, where, although at first subject to insult, he owed his release to the intercession of some influential persons, favorably disposed towards him. He then retired to the mountains of _Totee_, and further to those of _Tirah_, perhaps the district of the ancient _Thiræi_, mentioned by Arrian. Such was soon the new increase of his forces, that he dared proclaim his project to overthrow the power of the emperor Akbar. He descended into the plains of _Ningarhar_, sacked and burnt the country, but was overtaken by _Mahsan Khan_, and his army routed; he himself escaped with great difficulty, and died soon after, from the fatigues of his flight: he was buried at Hashtanagar.――(See on the Rosheniah sect and its founder, _Asiat.
