² Dr. S. K. Aiyangar says of the invasion of Rajab 710 A.H.: ‘This was apparently an invasion distinct from the one by Malik Kafur himself’ (p. 95). But Wassaf mentions Malik Nabu (= Malik Kafur, see *Elliot and Dowson*, vol. iii, p. 48, *n* 1) as having been ‘obliged to retreat’ and if the view of Dr. Aiyangar is right, it must be held that Wassaf makes no mention of the actual invasion of the Pāndya country by Malik Kafur at all.
