⁶⁶ Barani writes Malik Muqbil and also Malik Maqbūl. The MS. of the Tarikh-i-Mubarak Shahi has Malik Muqbil. Firishta also writes (Lucknow Text, p. 149) Malik Muqbil. The Calcutta Text of the Tabaqat-i-Akbari has Malik Qabūl, p. 234. Ibn Batūṭah writes Muqbil, Maqbūl, and also Malik Qabūlah but by the last name he means a different person as the context clearly shows. Barani uses the words Maqbūl and Muqbil for the same person, but he uses Malik Qabūlah for Malik Kabīr Sarjāmdār. Shams-i-Sirāj ‘Afīf writes Maqbūl. Calcutta Text, p. 394. Ibn Batūṭah writes in another place Muqbil Tilangi which clearly shows whom he means, IV, p. 55. Malik Qabūlah is a different person. He is Malik Kabir who had been accepted by the Khalifah when the Sultan paid homage to the latter. He was called Malik Qabūl Khalifatī. Ibn Batūṭah speaks of Malik Qabūlah sarjamdar
