CHAPTER XXXVII.
KHÁNSHIP OF ISÁN BUGHÁ KHÁN, SON OF VAIS KHÁN, AFTER
THE RUIN OF IRÁZÁN.

AFTER Mirák Turkomán and Irázán had carried off Yunus Khán to Samarkand, the whole of Moghulistán became subject to Isán Bughá Khán: all the Amirs offered to serve him, and thus the affairs of the Khán made great progress. Amir Sayyid Ali was untiring in his efforts to help the Khán, and as soon as the latter was firmly established on the throne, Amir Sayyid Ali begged him for permission to go to Káshghar. For, as I have already related, Khwája Sharif of Káshghar had given that place to Ulugh Beg Mirzá, and had expelled Mir Sayyid Ahmad, the father of Amir Sayyid Ali. Mirzá Ulugh Beg had, in the first place, appointed Amir Sultán Malik Duládái to be Governor of Káshghar, and after him Háji Muhammad Sháyistah, and after him Pir Muhammad Barlás.

Amir Sayyid Ali pointed out that it was a very fitting oppor­tunity for him to go to Káshghar, and added: “I will see if I cannot restore to our family its old possession, of which for forty years it has been deprived. If I fail I shall merit your scorn.” The Khán thereupon gave his consent.
