¹² This fact has been mentioned in the poem Kanhad de Prabandh written by one Padmanabh at Jalor in 1455. The subject matter of the poem is the siege of Jalor by 'Alāuddīn. The account seems quite trustworthy as the author wrote in a country which had suffered from the invasion and would have surely possessed many sources of information including the traditions current in that part about the raid. The Ms. was first discovered by Buhler in the 19th century. Commassariate: *Gujarat*, Vol. I, p. 12 K. M. Munshi: *Gujarat and its Litrature* pp. 102-105.
