c3.16

Upon these three works, subsequent histories were written. Two of them, *Rauzatus Safā* by Mīr Khwānd (died 1498) and *Habībus Siyar* by his grandson Khwānd Mīr (died 1525), are important. All these works taken together, especially the *Mulfūzāt* and the *Zafar Nāmā* of Yazdī, form a good source of material for the history of the conqueror. However, in the absence of any detailed Indian version, the narrative of Tīmūr's invasion of Hindustan as given by these foreign writers presents only a one-sided picture.
