Sultan Firuz Shah bestowing attentions on the envoys more than before, after some days, sent in return to Sultan Shamsu-d-din Arab and Turkish horses, together with other valuable presents, in charge of Malik Saifu-d-din Shahnafil. In the meantime, Sultan Shamsu-d-din had died in Bengal. Malik Taju-d-din and Malik Saifu-d-din had approached Behar, when they heard the news of the death of Sultan Shamsu-d-din. Malik Saifu-d-din communicated this intelligence to Delhi, and agreeably to the order of the Emperor, he gave away the horses and the presents in lieu of the pay due to the Imperial soldiers stationed in Behar. Malik Taju-d-din returned to Bengal. The reign of Shamsu-d-din lasted 16 years and some months.
