* Although Mirzá Abá Bakr is my own brother, (Verse)....my
loyalty and devotion are to the Khán alone: and any head that
will not bow to him, verily will I bring it down, though it be
that of my own brother. In my devotion to the Khán, no such
consideration as a tie of brotherhood shall stand in the way. In
the Mirzá's downfall, I now recognise the establishment of the
Khán's prosperity. If my plan is approved, let it be at once
proceeded with."

When my uncle had finished his speech, the Khán, who had
been listening with evident satisfaction, began to praise and
commend him, saying: '*My thoughts have for a long time been
occupied with such considerations; but in our discussions, all the
suggestions made have been either impossible or inexpedient. I
find your plan most reasonable, and preferable to any other. My
opinion is the opinion of Sayyid Muhammad Mirzá. If any one
has anything further to say on the matter, let him speak." AI
the Amirs were unanimous in their agreement, and began to
approve my uncle's suggestion.
Being all of one mind, the Khán, in the month of Rabi-ul-avval,
of the aforesaid year, left Farghána before Suyunjuk Khán had
entered it, and marched towards Káshghar by way of Moghulistán.
