The XXIst a Tamgliaj Khan bin Mnhammad Khan, but what 
Muhammad does not appear. He became the governor of Mawara-un- 
Nahr after Sanjar’s imprisonment by the Ghuzz, but possessed little be¬ 
yond nominal power, and his reign was short and stormy. He was 
tributary to the Kara Khitais, who continued to hold sway until finally 
driven out by Muhammad Khwarazm Shah. He was subsequently slain 
by the Karluhs or Karlughs, and his corpse cast into the desert in 550 
or 551. Tam gli aj it may be mentioned appears as the name of a territory 
in Turkistan, and is also a dynastic name. 
The XXIInd Jalal-ud-din ’All son of Hasantigin (Xo. XIX) also 
entitled Khizr Khan, and by some Jaghar Khan, succeeded with the 
support of the Kara Khitais, but as in the case of his processor, and 
subsequently of his successor, who was styled the Khakan of Mawara- 
un-Xahr, was entirely subordinate to the Giir Khans, and when lyal 
Arsalan Khwh’azm Shah marched an army to Bukhara aiid Samarkand 
in 553 the Tlah of the Turkan with 10,000 men was sent by the Giir- 
khan to his assistance. The length of his reign which must have been 
long is uncertain, as is the date of the accession of his son. 
The XXIIIrd Snltan ’Usman bin Jalal-ud-din, who on account of the 
antiquity of his race was styled Sultan us Salatin, and who was said to 
be a second Yusuf in beauty. He solicited the hand of a daughter of his 
suzerain in marriage, but the Giir Edian refused, for which very reason 
Sultan Muhammad Khwarazm Shah gave him a daughter of his own in 
606. Great friendship arose between ’Usman and his father-in-law, 
which was afterwards turned to equal resentment, for ’Usman threw 
over Muhammad and was making overtures to the Giir Khan, when the 
former marched against Samarkand, and at the instigation of his own 
wife, Khan Malik by name, ’Usman was put to death in 609 H. and with 
him finally ended the Afrasiyab dynasty. Sultan ’Usman it was who 
is said to have interceded with the Kara Khitais, and saved the life of 
Sultan Mu’izz-ud-din Muhammad bin Sam Ghiiri after his defeat at 
Andkhud in 601 H. and enabled him to escape.*

possible, in a tentative way, the relationship of these Turkistan khans. There

Perhaps numismatic material may exist in some of our Indian cabinets to suppli-
