¹ The Sultan conferred the children of a noble in marriage as a rule; in fact, Sultan ‘Ala-ud-din Khalji made it obligatory for the nobles to secure the permission of the Sultan before entering into any form of relationship among themselves. Similarly, Ala-ud-din prohibited them from calling on one another or inviting one another to dinners or social parties without his approval. His orders were faithfully carried out (vide B., 286-7; compare Raverty, 767).
