c19.13

The name of the conquered Hindu king is given in the Shah Jalāl legend as Gaur Gobind, Gaur or Gor being, it is alleged, the name of his capital, as it was also of the country. Rājendralāla Mittra identified him with the Gobind Deb of the Bhāterā copper-plates but this seems unlikely. The latter was succeeded on the throne by his son Ishān Deb, and the identification is possible only if we assume that the conquest was incomplete, and that, while one part of his dominions passed under Muslim rule, the other part remained independent, at least for some years.
