How or where he died our author, “the sole authority for this period,” does not say, but he repeatedly styles him “the martyred Malik” \[See note 1, page 630\]. Firishtah’s assertion that he died at Lakhanawati is like a good many of his assertions, without any proof whatever, and his own invention probably. Immediately after the death of Ghiyas-ud-Din, ’Iwaz, it appears, another Khalj chief succeeded in acquiring power, but how, is not clear, and, I fear can never be thoroughly made so. He is styled, by our author, at page 617, Balka Malik-i-Husam-ud-Din, ’Iwaz—that is to say, the son of Husam, &c., the izafat standing for son of \[See Appendix D.\], which is sufficiently proved, I imagine, from the fact that he was not at all likely to have been called by the precise title of his predecessor—Husam-ud-Din, ’Iwaz—as well; at page 626 tans, Nasir-ud-Dunya wa ud-Din, in sovereignty and prosperity! in the List of I-yal-timish's Maliks, Daulat Shah-i-Balka, son \[the izafat understood\] of Husam-ud-Din, 'Iwaz, Malik of Lakhanawati, thus showing beyond a doubt that he had been acknowledged by I-yal-timish as dependent ruler, otherwise why put him in the List of Maliks? \[See Thomas, “Initial Coinage,” page 366\]; - [Previous: 237.11](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.237.11) - [Next: 237.13](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.237.13) - [Up: 237](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.237) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.237.12](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.237.12) · Pramāṇa
