EPITOME OF THE MEMOIRS OF THE KHOJAS. 
85 
By tliis time Muhammad Khan (the king) had died, 10 and Abdu-llah 
Khan was reigning. He had three sons : (1) Yulbars, Governor of 
Kashghar; (2) Nur-ud-Din, Governor of Aksu; and (3) Ismail Khan, 
who stayed with his father n . 
Yulbars was disobedient to his father, but he revered the holy men 
Yusuf and Afaq, as did also the people of Kashghar. Khwaja Shadi 
died at Yarqand leaving two sons : (D Abdu-llah; and (2) TJbaidu-llah. 
Yusuf Khwaja came to Yarqand to pray over Shadi’s grave, when the king 
and many of the people turned their devotions to him abandoning the 
sons of Shadi. The adherents of the latter became angry and reproached 
the king, who said he would give an answer the next day. During the night 
he dreamed that he saw a large male camel [ buahrd ] which was seized 
by a small camel [ hiwa ] that came out from the Altun Mazar 12 where 
the grave of Shadi was. In the morning Yusuf departed without taking 
leave of the king. He fell ill at one day’s march from Yarqand and 
died at Topluk. Hazrat Afaq came and fetched his body and buried it 
at Yaghdu 13 . 
At Yarqand the sons of Shadi advanced in religious influence. The 
king (Abdu-llah) went away on pilgrimage to Mecca, leaving his son Ismail 
to rule in his stead, who expelled Khwaja Afaq from Kash gh ar and 
placed his own son Babak Sultan, as Governor there. 14 This regime 
flourished exceedingly ; never had there been such prosperity even in the 
days of the Khans. For twelve years the people knew not wdiether there 
were soldiers in the land or not. 
Khwaja Abdu-llah (son of Shadi) died, and TJbaidu-llah became the sole 
religious chief; but he died before reaching the age of forty, and left two 
sons—(1) Khwaja Shualb, and (2) Khwaja Danyal. All obeyed them in 
religious matters. 
Afaq, on being expelled from Kash gh ar, went towards Kashmir. He 
arrived at an idol temple of the Prophet Mani at Ju. He performed 
as being separated by a canal, so that Isfudik should be close by. I do not know 
why Mr. Shaw has inserted the words “in Khokand ” in parenthesis. He spells 
IsfiduJc, instead of Isfudik , as it stands in the text. 
30 Mr. Shaw notes here the year of Muhammad Khan’s death as 1018 A. H. or 
1609 *.T). 
11 Further on in his book, Muhammad Sadiq mentions other brothers of Ismail, 
whose names I have inserted in the genealogical table as sons of Abdu-llah, though it 
is possible that the word “brother” may not be used in a strictly literal sense. 
33 The so called Golden cemetery . it still exists at Yarqand, and is much 
reverenced.
