escaped to Rohtasgarh, the number of the slain was so great, that Malik 
Bayyu returned with fifty sers weight of sacred threads. He now occupied 
himself in subduing the warlike tribes of the province, and unfortunately 
fell at the moment of victory, his enemy Rajah Hans Kumar having been 
killed in the same battle. Malik Bayyu’s body was brought to Bihar; 
and the Rajah’s head and the sacred threads were buried at the foot of the 
hill, which still bears the name of Mund-mala. 
According to the inscriptions on Malik Bayyu’s shrine, he died, 
apparently peacefully, on the 13th Zil Hijjah, 753, or 20th January, 1353, 
in the second year of Eiruz Shah’s reign and about a year before his 
invasion of Bengal.
