⁵⁸ *Deval Rani* pp. 273-75. On the authority of Husām Khan, Hajiuddabir writes that when a son was born to Deval Rani Khizr Khan was asked to divorce her, because it was a custom that when a princess got a child she was divorced from her husband. Khizr Khan loved Deval Rani passionately and refused to separate her. This reason for Qutbuddin's demand for Deval Rani has not been given by any other historian and seems absurd. *Zafarul Vāli* pp. 841-43.
