One, Islam Shah, the monarch of Dehli, Who was during his life-time a Sahib-Kiran; The second, Mahmud Shah, the Sultan of Gujarat, Whose age was as immature as his reign ; The third, Nizamu-l Mulk Bahri, Who was a reigning sovereign in the Dekhin. If you ask for the date of the deaths of these princes, You will find it in the words "Ruin of Sovereigns." Sher Shah and Islam Shah together reigned fifteen years and some months, and then quitted the world. - [Previous: 11.5.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tarikh-i-daudi~en-elliot.11.5.7) - [Next: 12](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tarikh-i-daudi~en-elliot.12) - [Up: 11.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tarikh-i-daudi~en-elliot.11.5) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tarikh-i-daudi~en-elliot.11.5.8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tarikh-i-daudi~en-elliot.11.5.8) · Pramāṇa
