HISTORY OF THE KHOJAS OF EASTERN TURKISTAN. 
Ishaq Wall remained twelve years in Yarqand, Kash gh arl Khntan and 
Aksn, teacliing and making disciples, and then went to Samarqand, 
leaving a disciple named Ushtnr Khalifa in his place. The Khan and 
people of Kashghar became cool in their devotion and transferred it to a 
shrine at Turfan. Ushtnr went with them thither and sitting a straddle 
on the grave [stone], kicked it with his heels. A dragon came ont to 
eat him; but the saint who was in Samarqand, becoming miraculously 
aware of this, offered, in spirit, his son, who was at Aksn in order to save 
his vicegerent Ushtur. This son, Shahbaz by name, died at the same 
instant and Ushtur was delivered. 
Abdu-llah. Khan, king of Bukhara, sent his younger brother Bustam 
Sultan * * * * * * * 8 with an army of 50,000 men to attack Muhammad (Sultan) 
Khan of Kashghar, who was saved by the prayers of Ishaq Wall. The 
King of Bukhara died of anger. After these events the Khan of 
Kash gh ar became much devoted to this saint, who shortly afterwards died 
and was buried at Isfudik (in Khokand) and not at Dahbid, near Samar¬ 
qand, 9 where Makhdum-i-Azam was buried; for his father had 
said that whoever, hereafter, should be buried in the space between his own 
and his son’s grave, should be a partaker of Paradise. 
Ishaq Wall left two sons : (1) Qutbu-d-Dln, whose descendants are 
in charge of the shrine of Ishaq Wall; and (2) Khwaja Shadi, who was 
appointed his father’s viceregent at Yarqand. 
Now Makhdum-i-Azam had another son called Ishan-i-Kalan who 
left a son named Khwaja Yusuf, whose son was Khwaja Afaq. These 
came over to Kashghar and were received with veneration by the people. 
death is placed at A. H. 1,000 which fell in 1591-2. But from an extract from 
the Haft Iqlim, translated by Quatremere, it appears that Muhammad Khan or 
Muhammad Sultan, was Governor of Kashghar under his brother, Abdu-l-Karhn, as 
Khan of the country. Thus Muhammad Sultan must have succeeded to the Khanate 
about 1592, and it is he who is spoken of by Benedict Goes as the King in 1604, 
When, in the text above, Muhammad is spoken of as the brother-in-law of Karim, 
the author must have made a mistake. They were both sous of Abdu-r-Rashid. (See 
Quatremere in Notices et JExtraits XIV, pp. 487-8 and Goes in Yule’s Cathay , p. 565.) 
8 The ‘ Abdu-llah Khan mentioned here is the second of that name in the line of 
the Shaiban Uzbegs otherwise known as the “ Abdu-l-Khair.” Though he only 
actually reigned from 1583 to the date of his death in 1597*8, he was in power long 
before the former date. Detailed accounts of his life exist, but in none of them, 
accessible to me here, is such a person mentioned as a brother named Rustam. 
Indeed he seems to have had no brother : nor is there any record of an Uzheg invasion 
of Kashghar during his reign. It may be noted, however, that the words “ younger 
brother ” do not occur in Muhammad Sadiq’s original manuscript ; they must have 
come from Mr. Shaw’s “other book.” 
9 It appears that both these villages must be near Samarqand. Dahbid is said 
to be just beyond the suburbs of the city; and Muhammad Sadiq speaks of them
