¹⁷ *Deval Rani* p. 236. To Amīr Khusrau, a devout disciple of Shaikh Nizāmuddīn Aulia, all this calamity befell Khizr Khan because he had failed to pay his respects to the shaikh while going to Hastanapur. According to Ibn Battutah Khizr Khan showed open resentment at the execution of Alp Khan which was done by the orders of the King. Alāuddīn did not like this attitude of Khizr Khan and sent him to Gwalior. *Ibn Battutah* vol III p. 188.
