ABSTRACT
Le Chatelier again assigns not only Alai-ud-Din and Ya'qiib Jarhi (Charkhi obviously) as disciples or rather successors to Baha-ud-Din, but also gives him a third successor in Nasr-ud-Din of Tashkand. Thus it seems clear that the Order began to show symptoms of disruption on the death of Bahii.-ud-Din. Le Chatelier, however, says that it was under the pontificate of Nasr-ud-Din Tashkandi (who is not at all generally recognised as a khalfja of Bahii.-ud-Din) that the Order split up into two branches, that of the West under him as Grand Master, and the other of the East under another khalf.Ja, Sultan-ud-Din al-Kiishghari. But the Turkish versions of the pedigree seem to acknowledge only the last named.
