After conquering Gujarat ‘Ainulmulk returned to Delhi and was profusely rewarded.³⁴ Malik Dīnār, who had been given the title of Zafar Khan, and whose daughter had been married to the sultan, was appointed governor of Gujarat. Through the sincere efforts of his able and sagacious noble the whole of the province was brought under complete control. He administered the country so well that within three or four months of his arrival people forgot the good old days of Alp Khan. Zafar Khan realised a large amount of money from neighbouring chiefs and zamindars and sent it to Delhi.²⁵
