Indo-Mosl.\*, 1917-1918, pp. 8-15). Inscriptions have shown that Maḥmūd Tughlaq was a ruling king in A. H. 795 (1392-93 A.D.) and did not begin to rule in the following year as stated in the chronicles (ibid., 1919-1920, pp. 12-15; 1933-1934, Supp., pp. 22-23). Cf. also the evidence of a Sanskrit inscription referring to Muḥammad bin Tughlaq (believed to have ascended the throne in 1325 A.D.) but dated June 3, 1324 A. D. (\*Ep. Ind.\*, Vol. XXXV, p. 141). - [Previous: c7.s5.1](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.epigraphy.sircar-1965.c7.s5.1) - [Next: c7.s5.3](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.epigraphy.sircar-1965.c7.s5.3) - [Up: c7.s5](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.epigraphy.sircar-1965.c7.s5) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.epigraphy.sircar-1965.c7.s5.2](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.epigraphy.sircar-1965.c7.s5.2) · Pramāṇa
