Invasion of 
Jaj-nagar by 
the Prince 
Ulugh Khan. 
No verified regnal years of this king being available, his initial year is 
taken from the last year of Nrsimha Deva II. 
First and last year. Uife last year is the same as the first year of 
Nrsimha Deva III, faka 1249-50, deduced from the latter’s inscrip¬ 
tions. The intervening period nearly agrees with the year 24 given in 
the Puri copperplates. 
He was son of Nrsimha Deva II by Cora Devi. He is given a fuller 
_ , ,. , . _ .... title in No. 302, of Cri-vira-di-vira Cri- 
Relationship and title. ’ r r 
Bhanu-deva. 
The Puri copperplates describe a bloody war of his with one 
“ Gayasadin.” He is apparently the same as 
Ghiyas-ud-din Tughlak, whose son Ulu gh 
Khan having captured Arangal invaded Jaj-nagar. Ziya-ud-din Barni 
says (p. 234):— 
“ The prince then marched towards Jaj-nagar, and there took forty 
elephants, with which he returned to Tilang. These he sent on to his 
father.” 
Is it on the strength of this excursion that Jaj-nagar was included 
as No. 22 in the list of the 23 provinces to which Ulugh Khan succeeded 
according to Ibn Batutah ? [see his list in note 1 to p. 203, Thomas’ 
Path. Chron.]. Ziya-ud-din Barni, however, omits Jaj-nagar from his 
list [Elliot, III, p. 236].
