Acording to the Nābhinandanoddhāraprabandha, Emperor Gyāsuddin was much pleased with Samara Shah and highly honoured him. At Saparā's roquest, the emperor set free the lord of Pandu desa. 20
This Gyasuddin was probably Gyasuddin Tugblak ( A. D. 1320 to A. D. 1325 ) who was a contemporary of Samara Shab. Balban's another name was also Gyasuddin; but the Nābhinanadanoddhāra prabandha, implies that Samarā Shah came to be acquainted with him after he rebuilt the temple of Ādinātha on the holy hill; 80 he cannot be Gyasuddin Balban who died in A. D. 1286.21
