⁴ Compare among others the Tarikh-i-Mubarak Shahi for the events leading to the succession of Mu'izu-ddin Kaiqubad : the attempt of his father Bughra Khan to dispute the succession, so that it was only after his renouncing a claim to the throne of Delhi that a potential battle was turned into a happy meeting between the father and the son. This is borrowed from the Qiran-us-Sa‘dain. Similarly, the version of the Dewalrani Khizr Khani is followed for the events of the closing years of Sultan ‘Ala-ud-din Khalji. The famous elegy of Amir Khusrau on the death of Prince Muhammad the ‘Khan-i-Shahid’ is extensively quoted by men of letters and historians, for instance, Buda'uni and Nizam-ud-din. (Vide T.M.S., 359-60 and 374-375).
