The Nāṣirī Generations 288.4.6

288.4.6

Fortunately a few others throw some light on what our author keeps so dark. Among them the Fanakati says, that several of the great Mamluks of the late Sultan, I-yal-timish, rebelled against his son, Malik Jalal-ud-Din, Mas’ud Shah, and set up another in his place, as though he had been actually reigning. He says, in fact, that Raziyyat was set up by Ulugh Khan, but the date he afterwards gives, which is quite correct, shows that he has confused the names a little, and refers to Nasir-ud-Din, Mahmud Shah, whom he afterwards mentions as having been set up by Ulugh Khan. Then he continues “Malik Jalal-ud-Din fled from Hind, and, in 651 H., presented himself in the urdu of Sultan of Islam to the end of the existence of mankind, and preserve the Khan-i-A’zam, Ulugh Khan, in power and authority, to the end of the world! Amin.
