CHAPTER LXXIV.
BIRTH OF SULTÁN IBRÁHIM, SON OF SULTÁN SAID KHÁN.

IN the month of Shawál of the year 930 …* [a son was born to the Khán], and he was given the name of Sultán Ibráhim. Khwája Muhammad Yusuf received him as a son, and Bábá Sárik Mirzá, whose name was mentioned in the review [of the army] of Káshghar, was appointed his Atábeg. Magnificent banquets were held in honour of his birth—more splendid, in fact, than any that had been held on previous occasions. The Khán loved him above all his other children …* His life will be recounted in its proper place.*
