The Sylhet king, it is alleged, was also defeated and slain, and his brother Asurai, who was nominated to succeed him, was fain to promise a tribute of a hundred elephants, two hundred horses, three lakhs of rupees and ten thousand gold mohars. This campaign, like the preceding one, lacks confirmation. Nor is it quite clear what part of Sylhet is referred to. The open country in the centre of the district was conquered by the Muhammadans at the end of the fourteenth century, but it may have been temporarily independent at this period which was a troublous one in Bengal.
