¹ Compare, for instance, K. R., II, 17, 21, 30, 31, for some amusing mis-statements : that Sultan Mu'izz-ud-din Kaiqubad built the Qutab Minar of Delhi and that the passage leading to the top was wide enough to admit an elephant; that Ghiyas-ud-din Balban ascended the throne after killing the Sultan Nasir-ud-din Mahmud : that there was a dispute between the father and the son for succession when Ghiyas-ud-din Tughluq came to the throne; and finally when the former became the Sultan, Juna Khan (later known as Muhammad Tughluq) revolted against his father in the Deccan under the excuse of leading an invasion into the Telingana.
