This short covers very briefly the events around the death of Mötügen, favourite son of Chagatai and favourite grandson of Chinggis Khan, who fell during the siege of Bamiyan in 1221.
The main sources for this event come from Juvaini (writing in the 1250s) and Rashid al-Din (writing ca.1300-1310). Mostly they provide the same details (fall of Mötügen to an arrow at Bamiyan in 1221, and renaming of the city to Ma'u Balik/Ma'u Qorghan). But Rashid provides the extra details on this strange interaction between Chinggis and Chagatai afterwards. Why Chinggis would have done this, I am not quite sure.
