they took khizir khwája khán up to the hills which lie between badakhshán and káshghar. but the spies of kamaruddin got news of his hiding-place, so he abandoned it and fled to the hills of khotan. fearing discovery, he went on to sárigh uighur, jurján, and lob katak, where he remained for twelve years. on the death of kamaruddin, search was made for khizir khwája khán, and amir khudáidád sent for him from where he was in hiding. as soon as he was brought in, khudáidád called the people together and raised him to the khánship. thus did the splendour of the khán come to illumine the sovereignty of the moghuls, so that the affairs of moghulistán prospered. the khán then concluded a peace with amir timur, who formed an alliance with him by marrying tavakkul khánim, a maiden from the royal haram.
