A rival who fell in his own moment of valour

The second Jam to carry the name Sulah-ood-Deen appears not as a Jam in settled possession but as a challenger: "a distant relative, set up his pretensions to the government" (vol. IV, p. 429) against Jam Feroze, and after early reverses fled to Guzerat, where Moozuffur Shah's marriage into his family bought him troops. A second Guzerat intervention in A.H. 926 (A.D. 1519) succeeded where the first had not, expelling Feroze outright — but the following year, at a battle near Sehwan against forces sent by Shah Beg Arghoon, the page records that "though Sulah-ood-Deen distinguished himself by his valour, he fell" (vol. IV, p. 430), and Sind reverted to Feroze.
