Mahmud’s contemporary, Al Utbi, however, makes no mention of any such confederacy in the \*Ta’rikh-i-Yamini\* (Elliot, II, p. 23). The mention of Delhi indeed throws an element of doubt upon Firishta’s late account, for at this period it was a comparatively obscure town. It is significant that Utbi omits Delhi in the campaigns of Mahmud of Ghazni and Alberuni is also silent about it. - [Previous: c17.s6.2](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.tripathi-1937.c17.s6.2) - [Next: c17.s6.4](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.tripathi-1937.c17.s6.4) - [Up: c17.s6](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.tripathi-1937.c17.s6) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.tripathi-1937.c17.s6.3](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.tripathi-1937.c17.s6.3) · Pramāṇa
