Among the Hazara People

23

The title of the Hazari king is Hakan. He only appears every four months and is called "Great Hakan." His representative is called "Hakan-Beh." This representative leads the army, manages state affairs, and oversees operations within the kingdom. He also appears before the people and undertakes expeditions. Neighboring kings are subservient to him.

Notation Translation Note
Hākaan The original word is retained as a title for the king. It may not refer to a specific individual's real name. "Dai-Hākaan" and the agent's designation are distinguished.
Appearing only every four months The phrase indicating an interval of four months follows the printed text from later quoted sources. This is not a number confirmed by independent manuscript collation or calendar conversion.
Hākaan-bef A provisional notation following the printed version's agent designation. The description regarding this agent, including military and political roles, external affairs, and the subjugation of neighboring kings, has been translated as such. It has not been replaced with a different official title from later periods.
