²⁰ Bahā-al-Din's surname is differently spelt in different texts. It is Gashtāsb (گشت اشب) in Ibn Batūtah (III, p. 318) Malik Bahadur Gashbashb (گشبا شب) in Yahya, Garshasm (گر شاسم) in Badāoni (Text, I, p. 227) and Garshasp (گر شاسب) in Firishta (Lucknow Text, p. 135). Firishta writes غم زاده سلطان محمود شاه which is a mistake of the scribe. Barani in one place calls him Tughluq Shah's sister's son.
