'uggE are no traditions or stories extant among the Moghuls
relating to Ilyás Khwája Khán. We learn, however, from the
Zafar-Náma, that it was upon him that the Khánship devolved.:
after the death of Tughluk Timur Khán. During his reign, there.
took place his victory of the battle of the Mire, the siege of
Samarkand and the abandonment thereof, on account of the.
epidemie which fell among his horses, He only survived these.
events a very short time. But an account of the events im- E

in Moghul tradition, will be given below. For, although knowledge 1
of what happened after the death of Ilyás Khwája Khán is with
God only, we know, from Moghul traditions, what oceurred after
the death of Tughluk Timur Khán. From these sources we learn
that there were five brothers: (1) Amir Tulik, who has been |
mentioned in connection with the conversion of thà Khán to Islám; |
. (2) Amir Buláji; (3) Amir Shams-ud-Din, who is mentioned in |
the Zafar-Náma as having taken part in the battle of the Mire -
(which passage I have copied into this book); (4) Amir Kamar-
uddin, of whom I shall speak later; (5) Amir phan: of.
Ab gn no traces remain. Á
After Amir Tulik's death, the office of Ulusbegi was given 101
Amir DBuláj, and when this latter followed his brother to the |
dwellings of eternity, the office of Ulusbegi devolved upon his son
Amir Khudáidád. But Amir Kamaruddin, going down on his
knees before the Khán, said to him: * The office of my brother.
