The date 741 is obviously incorrect. It seems probable that either Badaoni himself in copying the \*Tarikh-i-Mubarak Shahi\* or some scribe who copied his \*Muntakhab-ut-tawarikh\* wrote Sultan Muhammad instead of Shams-al-Dīn. It is impossible to accept Badaoni's date in view of the evidence of coins and of Ibn Batūṭah who found Fakhr-al-Dīn ruling in Bengal in 746 A.H., and his account is too detailed to be inaccurate. - [Previous: c10.66](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.prasad-1936.c10.66) - [Next: c10.68](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.prasad-1936.c10.68) - [Up: c10](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.prasad-1936.c10) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.prasad-1936.c10.67](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.prasad-1936.c10.67) · Pramāṇa
