The conquest referred to above was, therefore, undertaken some time before 1314 when the ceremony of Tula Puruś was performed. The capital of Harasimha was at Simrampur (modern Simraon) on the borders of Nepal. It is not improbable that Chandrēshvar who was the minister of peace and war (सान्धि विग्र‍हिक) may have carried a successful expedition into the Napal territory and may have snatched some portion of Nepal. But Sanskrit writers depict their slightest success with as much exaggeration as Persian chroniclers, and it is just possible that the conquest of Nepal by Candrēshvar may have only been an ordinary raid into that country.³ Thus it is clear that in the time of 'Alāūddīn an Indian army had marched into the Nepal territory.
