'Alamgir entered into the cell to have an interview with the darwesh, and there Balabash Khan killed him with his dagger. * * Afterwards the conspirators took the corpse, and threw it down upon the sand at the foot of the kotila of Firoz Shah. They then gave out that he had gone to the kotila to visit a darwesh, and that his foot having slipped, he fell from the top of the parapet. He had reigned five years seven months and eight days.]
