Stephen further says: "In the year 753 A.H. (1352 A.D.) Firūz Shāh built a college (Madrasah) at the top of this tank (*Tārīkhi-Mubārak-Shāhī*). Almost the entire length of the southern side of the Ḥauẓ consists of old buildings. The Madrasah of Firūz Shāh is a range of low masonry rooms and now partly in the occupation of villagers, who use them for the ordinary purposes of residence. The Mutwallī of the Madrasah, Sayyid Yūsuf bin Jamāl died in 790 A.H. (1388 A.D.) and was buried in the courtyard of the college."—Carr Stephen's *Archaeology of Delhi*, p. 83 (1876).
