v2.c29.s2.268

We may conclude from this inscription as well as the *Bāmhni Satī record* of the reign of ‘Alā ud-Dīn, dated in A.D. 1309⁴ that the Muslims had extended their power in the second half of the 13th and the first half of the 14th centuries as far as the Bhanrer Range. It is difficult to say how far their dominions extended south of that range. But it is likely that the Kalacuris of Tripurī may have lingered on as a minor power in the Jubbulpore division for a considerable time. The Muslims never succeeded in effectively subjugating this region, known in later history as Gondwana. Possibly this dynasty was ousted finally by the extension of the power of the Gonds into Jubbulpore about the beginning of the 15th century.¹
