kii Khan, the first of the ri-Khanians, than to his grandfather, the 
Chingiz Khan,* * * § but the coin, No. 153 is evidently that of a Musalman 
ruler, a feudatory of the Khilafat, who had to submit to the hard yoke 
of the infidel Mu glial st and to impress it with the semi-Turkish title of 
Khakan-i-A’zam ; for Khakan is a purely Turkish word. The Khalifali, 
Un-Nasir-ud-Din U’llah, died in Ramazan, 622 H. (1225 A. D.), up to 
which period the Mughals had made no permanent conquests in Tran 
Zamin ; and Sultan Jalal-ud-Din, the Kliwarazm Shah, was still powerful 
in those parts until 628 H., six years after that Khalifah’s decease. Tt 
was not until the reign of the Ka’an (^T^' ), Uktae, after his becoming 
firmly established on the throne—for it was not filled for two years and a 
half after the death of the Chingiz Khan—that armies were despatched 
westwards since the return of the Chingiz Khan, and his death. In 626 
H. (1229 A. D.) the Nu-yin, Jurmaghun, was sent into ’Irak, against 
Sultan Jalal-ud-Din, the Kliwarazm Shah, and the Nu-yin, Mangutah, 
(the same who afterwards invested Uchchli) towards Ghaz-nih. It is 
stated in the history of that reign, that to Mangutah was assigned the 
occupation of Tukharistan, Kunduz, and Tal-kan ; for the then Musalman 
Maliks of Khurasan, Ghiir, Kirman, and Fars, all proceeded to the pre¬ 
sence of the Great Ka’an, Uktae, at Kara-Kuram, and requested that 
Shahnahs or Intendants might be sent to them, thus placing their 
necks under the yoke£ “ After this,” says the historian, “ Khurasan 
began to thrive againbut the army of above 100,000 horse 
under Jurmaghun slaughtered and ravaged all the tracts they passed 
through § ; and it was part of Jurmaghiin’s forces which surprised 
the camp of Sultan Jalal-ud-Din, the Kliwarazm Shah, who was put 
off his guard by the false report of a patrol. The Sultan, who was 
asleep at the time, succeeded in making his escape. He turned devotee 
and disappeared from the scene, but is said to have lived for sixty 
years after that. The Shaikh, ’Ala-ud-Daulah, Al-Byabanki-us Sim- 
nani, relates under the events of the year 688 H. (1289 A. D.) as 
follows “ When at Baghdad, I used daily, at noon, to wait upon the 
pious and venerable Shaikh, Nur-ul-Hakk wa ud-Din, ’Abd-ur-Rahman- 
i-Isfaraim may his tomb be sanctified ! I happened to go upon one 
occasion, at the usual hour, and found him absent from his abode, a 
* I do not think any history can be named in which it is stated that Timur-chi, 
the Chingiz Khan, ever assumed such a title as “ Khaqanor Khakan, and in the 
absence of some such authority for the assertion that he did, the statement may be 
regarded as purely imaginary.
