amir khudáidád wished to send a few trustworthy men with him, but mir ághá opposed this plan, saying: "do not send any of your own servants, for when the boy becomes khán, base born people [such as they] will become influential, and then they will prove enemies to yourself and your children. they will imagine that the people do not pay them sufficient respect, but say among themselves, ‘these are only servants.’ for this reason rather send others than your own retainers—send strangers." so twelve men were sent, and each eventually became an amir. many of their descendants are alive now. among their number was arjirák, from whom are descended the amirs of itárji; tájri of khwárizm, from whom are sprung the amirs of kunji; while another was of the tribe of chálish siádi [or sayyádi]; and his sons also became amirs, with the style [lakab] of kushji, but they are also called kukildásh.
