232 H. Beveridge — The Khurshid Jahdn Numd of [No. 3, 
with him. On the other hand, Mr. Blochmann’s date of 642 seems 
too early, as Shihabu-d-din, Suhrawardi, the aged preceptor of Jalalu-d- 
dln, lived till 632. It is noteworthy that neither Ferishta nor Abu-1- 
fazl gives the date of Jalalu-d-diu’s death, and that the latter puts him 
in his list not only after Bahau-d-din, but after his son and grandson, 
and also after Nizamu-d-dm Auliya, who died in 725 A.H. 1 Abu-1- 
fazl’s list 2 appears to be in chronological order, so far as the saints of 
the Suhrawardi order are concerned, beginning with Bahau-d-din Zaka- 
riya. Of course all difficulties are removed, if we accept Ibn Batutak’s 
statement that Jalalu-d-dln lived to the age of 150. There can be no 
doubt, I think, that the Jalalu-d-dln whom he saw was the Pandua 
Jalfilu-d-din. He told Ibn Batutali that he was in Bagdad when the 
last of the Abbasides A1 Musta‘sim Billah was killed, and this oc¬ 
curred on 20tli February 1258 or 14th Safar 656. 3 He must there¬ 
fore have been at least between 80 and 90 when Ibn Batutah saw 
him. He describes him as being then very old, but he does not tell us 
when or where he died. He only says that afterwards his disciples told 
him that he had died at the age of 150. He also says that long after 
his interview with Jalalu-d-dln, Barhanu-d-dln told him in China that 
the saint was dead. The fullest account of Jalalu-d-dln that I have 
seen is in the Siyaru-1-arifln of Hamid Bin Fazlu-llali, commonly known 
as Darvisli Jamall, Brit. Mus., Catalogue, Or., I. 215, p. 354u. But 
he too, does not give the date of his death. 4 On the whole I am inclined 
to think that the date 642 A.H. is wrong. It is possible that Jalalu-d- 
din has been confounded with another saint of Tabriz named Shams-i- 
Tabriz, who according to one account died in 615, and according to 
another, in 643. Curiously enough, Shams-i-Tabriz had a pupil—the 
famous Sufi poet, named Jalalu-d-din Rum! — and he took Shams-i- 
Tabriz’s name as his takliallus or nom de plume. Dr. Rieu mentions 
in his catalogue that Shamsu-d-din Tabriz was the constant companion 
of Jalalu-d-din Rumi from 642 to his death in 615. Jalalu-d-din him¬ 
self died in Iconium in 672 A.H. See the Majalisu-l-‘ushshaq, Brit. 
1 Ain Akbari Text, II., 216. 
2 Abu-1-fazl seems to have consulted the Riyazu-l-auliya of Bakhtavar Khan, 
who wrote in the time of Humayun. BaWitavar’s list is also in chronological order. 
3 The date is given in Gibbon, &c. 
4 He calls him Hazrat Shaikh Jalalu-d-din Abu-I-qasim Tabrizi, and devotes 
ten pages to him. The account begins at 1836 of Or. 215. Brit. Mus. Catalogue, 
p. 354a. It is curious that the converted Hindu milk-man of Badaon took the name 
of c Ali and wanted to go with Jalalu-d-din into Bengal. But I do not suppose he is 
the man who afterwards became ‘Ali Shah and indeed we are told that the milk-man 
remained at Badaon and became a great saint there.
