He bravely fought against Muhammad Shah and died in Ranthambore seige.He issued a commemorative gold half-tanka,5.5g, to commemorate one of his victories. This gold half-tanka may be one of the specimens that would have survived the invasion of Allaudin Khilji on the fort of Ranthambore in 1301 AD.
