History of the Khaljis, A.D. 1290–1320 c11.s1.8

c11.s1.8

This invasion has been differently described by various writers, contemporary and later. Amir Khusrau’s account in *Khazāinul Futūh*, being a mixture of verbosity and rhetoric, is a little confused. But it can be made out that Kubak, Iqbālmand and Tai Bū were commanders of the different contingents in one and the same campaign.⁷⁷ This fact, again, is definitely mentioned in *Deval Rānī*.⁷⁸ ‘Iṣāmī who gives the most detailed description of Mughal invasions, treats it as the last in the time of ‘Alāuddīn. ‘Iṣāmī, however, does not refer to any other commander except Kubak.⁷⁹
