c4.35

Besides the huge war indemnity, Ram Chandra promised to send yearly revenues of Ellichpur province to 'Alāuddīn at Kara. He also gave his daughter in marriage to 'Alāuddīn. Although contemporary historians do not mention this fact, yet 'Isāmī, Vaṣṣāf, Muḥammad Bihāmad Khān and Hajīuddabīr allude to it.²⁴ 'Isāmī even gives the name of the princess as Jahatiapali or Jhatiapali, a word which, however, has no meaning.²⁵ At another place he says that she was the mother of Shihābuddīn 'Umar Khaljī,²⁶ whom Khusrau placed on the throne after 'Alāūddīn's death.
