Barani summarily disposes of the rebellion and writes : ‘ While the Sultan was engaged in settling the country of Gujarat and was about to enter Nehrwālā, news came from Devagiri that Hasan Kāngū and other rebels, who had fled before the royal army on the day of battle had attacked and slain ‘Imād-al-Mulk and scattered his army and that Khudāwand Zādah Qiwām-al-Dīn, Malik Jauhar, and Zahīr-al-Jayūsh had gone from Devagiri towards Dhar. It was further reported that Hasan Kāngū had entered Devagiri and seized the royal canopy, and the insurgents, who had shut themselves in the fort of Dhārāgarh, had descended and created a disturbance in Devagiri.¹³⁵ This event has been differently described by different historians. The author of the *Tarikh-i-Mubarak Shahi* writes that the Daulatabad army under the leadership of Hasan Kāngū, coming out of hiding, attacked and slew ‘Imād-al-Mulk Sartez,¹³⁶ and he is followed by ‘Abdul Qādir Badāonī who says :—" the army which had fled from Daulatabad under the leadership of Hasan Kāngū, coming out of hiding, attacked ‘Imād-al-Mulk Sartez.
