c6.s2.29

⁴⁸ According to Badaonī he was given the title of Sultanus Sharq, while according to Ferishta that of Malikul Sharq. Yahya also has Sultanus Sharq. It appears, however, that the title given was that of Malikul Sharq only, and when Khwājā Jahān strengthened his position on account of the weakness of the Sultanate, he took to himself the title of Sultanus Sharq. Badaonī, Ranking, I, 348; Ferishta, I, 154; T.M.S., 156.
