T.R. eloquence of Khoja Muhammad Ytisuf just arrived from Tâshkand, however, dissuaded him from the purpose. Instead thereof he made him confess and repent his sins, and promise to expiate them by serving God and the Prophet by the prosecution of a yearly ghazdt against the pagans and infidels on his borders.

In the spring of 931 H. = 1524 A.D., Said again went to the support of

Rashid at Isigh Kul, where he had his camp to control the Kirghiz. Whilst there he received intelligence of the death of Siiyunjuk and disorder amongst the Uzbak. Consequently he at once invaded Andijan, seized Uzkand, the strongest fort in the country, and razed it to the ground, captured Tish and the capital, and annexing them to Kâshghar, returned to Mogholistân. Here he established Rashid in the government against Tûir Khan and Abûl Kâ.sim, the Uzbak leaders whose cause had failed in Mawarânahar, and returned to his own capital. On the rise of the Manghit, however, in succession to them, and their invasion of Mogholistân, Rashid, unable to hold his own against them, returned to Kâshghar.

In the winter following this, Said sent Rashid and Mirza Hydar (the author of Tarikhi RashidL) on a ghazût against the kdfir of Bolor. This country is bounded east by Kâshghar and Yarkand; north by Badakhshân; west by Kabul; and south by Kashmir. It is altogether a mountain fastness, and has not a level farsakh of ground in a circuit of four months' journey. Its people have no religion, and their women do all the labour, field and domestic. The men do nothing but fight each other all day and every day, and only cease when their women interpose with food. They then enter their houses, and on the conclusion of the meal return to fight ; and so it goes on from sunrise to sunset; and at night they always barricade their doors and keep watch.

These people have few oxen, but lots of goats and sheep from whose wool they make all their clothing. There is little pasture in the country ; and every glen has its own peculiar language which is unintelligible to the neighbours. Honey and fruits are in plenty. The pomegranates are especially good, and have sweet white grains like those of no other country. Rashid returned from this expedition, in which he does not appear to have effected much against the kûfar, by way of Sarigh Chopân in the summer of 934 H. = 1527 A.D.

On the death of Mirzâ Khan, his infant son, Sulemân, succeeded to the throne of Badakhshâ.n. Bâbur had him brought to Kabul, and sent his own son, Humâyun, to hold the country. He governed it from 926 to 935 H. = 1519 to 1528 A.D., when he was summoned to India. The Badakhshi now feared the Uzbak, and sought protection of Said. He left Rashid in the government of Kâshghar, and set out for Badakhshân in 936 H. = 1529 A.D. On arrival at Zafar, however, he found the fort already occupied by Hindâ.l, the brother of Humâyun. It being mid-winter, and retreat impossible, Said negotiated a stay of three months with Hindâl on the grounds that he had come to protect the place against Uzbak invasion, and with no thought of wresting it from Kabul. After a very hard time of it in deep snows, with a scarcity of provisions, Said was glad to turn back to his capital with the first approach of spring. Bâbur on this recalled Hindâl, and re-established Sulemân at Zafar.

Following this in the winter of 937 H. = 1530 A.D., Said resumed Aksii from Mansur, and appointed Rashid to its government with Mirzâ Hydar as his minister. Six months later he recalled the latter, and in ZI'II?jj, the spring of 938 H. = 1532 A.D., set out with him and an army of five thousand men on a ghazâf against Tibet.

The rivers of Tibet on the north-east all flow to the Kok Nor Kol in the sandy desert. It is three months' journey in circuit ; and from the lake flows the great Kara Moran river of Khita.

The Dolpa tribe of Tibet trade between Khita and Hind, and carry their merchandize exclusively on sheep. They spend one winter in Khitâ and the other in Hind. Three hundred families of them live in under-ground burrows at Altinchi,
