Note 80 — PART I.—DESCRIPTION.

Salím Sháh Súr, a.d. 1545–1553.During the reign of Sher Sháh’s successor Salím Sháh (a.d. 1545–1553), Shujáât was forced to leave Málwa and seek shelter in Dúngarpúr. Selím pardoned Shujáât, but divided Málwa among other nobles. Shujáât remained in Hindustán till in a.d. 1553, on the accession of Salím’s successor, Ádili, he recovered Málwa, and in a.d. 1554, on the decay of Ádili’s power, assumed independence.80 He died almost immediately after, and was succeeded by his eldest son Malik Báyazíd.81 Shujáât Khán was a great builder. Besides his chief works at Shujáwalpúr near Ujjain, he left many memorials in different parts of Málwa.82 So far none of the remains at Mándu are known to have been erected during the rule of Shujáât Khán.
