c13.s1.38

Having retaken the Yadava territories Malik Naib attacked a few other cities far and near in the territories of Telingana and Hoysala, and inspired such terror into the hearts of the Deccanis that even the last remnants of opposition to the Delhi government were wiped out. When everybody had submitted Malik Kāfūr returned to Devagiri and fixed his headquarters there, and it was on account of his integrity and strength that the prestige and power of the sultanate were ever felt in Deccan until the death of the Sultan.⁴² Malik Naib sent some years’ tribute from Telingana and Carnatic kingdoms to the capital. He remained in the Deccan until about 1315 when ‘Alāuddīn, who had fallen seriously ill, called him back to Delhi.⁴³
