IBRAHIM SHAH SHURKY: His country invaded by Mulloo Yekbal Khan, attended by Mahmood Toghluk. — Peace concluded. — Ibrahim takes Kunowj from the King of Dehly; also takes Sumbhul, which is retaken — encourages literature in his country — proceeds to besiege Byana; but concludes a peace with the King of Dehly. — Death of Ibrahim. On the death of Moobarik, his younger brother, Ibrahim, was elevated to the throne. He was famous during his reign for the encouragement he afforded to literature; and we find that in those times of anarchy and confusion which prevailed in Hindostan, Joonpoor became the seat of learning; as appears from several works now extant, dedicated to Ibrahim Shah.
