My mind being now quite at ease with regard to Kummer Addyn, I was informed that Beg Timūr, the son of Aurūs Khān of Kipchāk, had advanced with an army of five thousand horse into the territory, occupied by the tribe of Jujy, had plundered them of all their property, and compelled their Prince Tuktāmush[117] Khān, a descendant of the imperial family, to flee towards me for refuge. As Tuktāmush was an acquaintance of mine, he sent a messenger to me with his blessing (_Dwa_):[118] I in consequence sent out Tumen Timūr to meet the Prince, with orders to bring him to Samerkund with the greatest honour and respect: I also prepared a great banquet for him, and assembled all the chiefs, the Syeds, and the learned, to meet him, and gave to the whole assembly, abundance to eat and to drink, and conferred dresses of honour, and presents of jewels and horses on every one according to his rank, and having made them all happy, I dismissed them.—Farewell, Farewell. * * * * * Here ends the Book called the Tuarikh Mubarik Shāhy, (History of the illustrious Monarch) which contains the Military Regulations of Timūr Shāh Saheb Kerāny, compiled by himself. (See Appendix No. 9.) _Conclusion of Colonel Davy’s MS._[119] ----- Footnote 116: Atrar is the place where Timūr died, it is situated on the Sihūn, in the 44th degree of Latitude; Aksumā is said to have been a castle built on a mountain, overlooking the plains of Kipjak. Petis de la Croix, page 73. Footnote 117: He was descended from Jengyz Khān by Tūshy, the eldest son, and succeeded to the throne of Kipchāk, on the death of Aurūs Khān, A. H. 778, A. D. 1376. See Abul Ghazy’s History of the Tartars. Footnote 118: Although a suppliant, he still considered himself as superior to Timūr, who never took any other title than (Amyr) commander; the same _hauteur_ is still kept up by the (Delhy) royal family towards the Nuwabs of Hindūstān. Footnote 119: This _Conclusion_ is certainly a mistake of the copyist, as I have found in two other MSS. belonging to Colonel Davy, a further continuation of the history, but they both end in the following curious manner. “Be it known that from this (Majlis) place, (page 284 of Petis de la Croix) to the time of the Emperor’s making his last testament, in the plains of (Khetā) Tartary, together with his Institutes, nearly forty thousand (Byts) lines are deficient or obliterated.” “If it please God to grant me health and strength, it shall be compleated.” (Appendix No. 10.) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ CORRIGENDUM. -------------- Page 133, for Book V. read Book VI. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ APPENDIX I. --------------
