Jalal-ul-hak Ma’sid Shah Jani in the reign of Nasir-ud-duniya 
Abul Muzaffar Mahmid Shah on the first of Maharram 647 H.., 
or 16th April, 1249 A.D. (A.S.R., xv, p. 45, pl. xxi). Ma’sud 
Jani’s rule thus fills in to some extent the gap between Kirane-

Khan, who had dispossessed Balban-i Yiaz-baki in 657 H. 
According to Firishtah Tatar Khan coined money in his own 
name (/.c., J.A.S.B., 1874, Vol. 43, pt. 
I, p. 287). This means an assumption of 
complete independence, and is not consistent with the despatch 
of elephants to Delhi on the accession of Balban, evidently as 
a vassal. No coins of his, if any coined, has yet been brought 
to light. It is also not known how long he ruled after 664 H., 
or how his rule came to an end. Badaoni’s history names two 
governors after him, Sher Khan and then Amin Khan (Trans- 
lation, i, p. 186), but gives no details.
