King Galacarna fell in love
with the wife of Madana, and used every means to gain her but to no
purpose. But she being chaste, which was doubtless the sweet smell, gave
notice to her husband and brother of the dishonourable conduct of the
king; on which they called in Shah Nasr Oddin king of Delhi, who
invaded the kingdom of Guzerat and slew Galacarna in battle; after which
he left his general Habed Shah to reduce the kingdom to subjection,
having in the first place rewarded the two brothers for their services,
and made the kings of Mandou and Cheitore tributary[195]. Shah Nasr
Oddin was soon afterwards killed by his nephew, and the kingdom of
Delhi was so much weakened by civil war, that Habed-shah revolted and
set himself up as king of Guzerat.

In 1330, Hamet a Mahometan Tartar, who resided in the city of Cambay,
by the assistance of a number of Arabs, Persians, and Rumes or Turks,
usurped a great part of Guzerat, then possessed by Deosing-rao. Ali
Khan succeeded Hamet, and left forty sons, three of whom became kings.
The eldest Peru-shah succeeded in the kingdom of Guzerat. The second
Azeide-khan got the kingdom of Mandou or Malwa by his wife; and the
third named Ali-khan acquired the kingdom of Agimere in the same
manner.
