⁴⁹ Barani, Calcutta Text, p. 501. Firishta says some of the courtiers maligned Qutlugh Khan and charged his Karkuns with oppression and abuse of authority and told the king that the revenue of Devagiri had declined considerably. Barani casts no aspersion on Qutlugh Khan's character and he and Ibn Batūtah both highly praise his honesty and devotion to public duty.
