2. *The Seat of the Central Government.*—The seat of the government before the reign of Sultan Sikandar Lodi was located at Delhi except for a very short interval when Sultan Muhammad Tughluq moved to Deogir, which he renamed Daulatabad. In 909 A.H. (1503 A.D.) when Sikandar Lodi removed there, Agra became the seat of the Sultanate and continued to be so until the time of the Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan who returned to Delhi.⁴
