Sayyad Ilahl Bakhsh al Husaini AngrSzdbddl. 
with Jalalu-d-din TabrizI begins at page 215 of Volume IV. of the first 
edition of the French translation. He there tells us that after arriving 
at Sadkawan, he set off for the mountains of Kamru, in order to see a 
holy person who dwelt there, viz., Shaikh Jalalu-d-dinu-t-Tabrizi, 
He then describes how he found him and stayed at his hermitage for 
three days. He tells some wonderful stories about the Shaikh’s pre¬ 
science, and fasting powers, but omits to tell us what we should like to 
know, viz., where he first heard about Jalalu-d-din, or the exact place 
where he found him. He mixes up his narrative of what he saw with 
what he afterwards heard from Jalalu-d-din’s disciples, and omits to tell 
when and where he received these communications. 
It is true that Ilahl Bakhsli’s account of Jalalu-d-din seems incon¬ 
sistent with his having been alive in the 8th century of the Hijra, for 
he tells us that Jalalu-d-din came to Delhi in the time of Khwaja Qutbu- 
d-din, and was a contemporary of Bahau-d-din Zakariya. How 
IQiwaja Qutbu-d-din Bakhtiyar Kald, who is the person meant, died in 
633 according to Abu-1-fazl, and in 634 according to Ferishta, and 
Baliau-d-din died either in 665 or 666. Ferishta’s references to Jalalu- 
d-din Tabriz! also imply that he flourished in the first half of the 7th 
century of the Hijra, for he describes 1 him as the friend of Bahau-d- 
din, and as obtaining leave from Shihabu-d-din, Suhrawardi, to accom¬ 
pany Bahau-d-din from Bagdad to India. However, he stopped on the 
way at Khwarazan, while Bahau-d-din went on to Multan. He also 
mentions, 1. c. p. 718, four lines from bottom that Jalalu-d-din Tabriz! 
came to Bagdad for the second time from Khar as an, while IQiwaja 
Qutbu-d-din was there, and gave him news of Ma‘unu-d-din Cishti. The 
two then went together to Multan, and eventually Qutbu-d-din pro¬ 
ceeded to Delhi whilst Jalalu-d-din went ofl to Ghazni. This must 
have been subsequent to the time when Jalalu-d-din set out with Bahau- 
d-din from Bagdad, for when he and Qutbu-d-din came to Multan, they 
found Bahau-d-diu established there. It may be noted that Ferishta 
does not say that Jalalu-d-din was at Delhi with Qutbu-d-din. Ferishta 
also says 1. c., p. 742, six lines from foot, that Hizamu-d-din Auliya read, 
when he was twelve years old, with one Maulana ‘Alau-d-din who had 
received his investiture from Jalalu-d-din Tabrizi, and that in after life 
he again fell in with this Maulana and greatly honoured him. The 
Shaikhu-l-islam Hijamu-d-din Saghri, too, who according to Abu-1-fazl 
and Ilahl Bakhsh. had a quarrel with Jalalu-d-din was, according to 
Ferishta 2 , a contemporary of IQiwaja Qutbu-d-din, and was on bad terms
