t Ktwaja Mauidin is Khwaja Mu'ainu'ddin OMsliti of Ajmer (see
p. 205 ante), Maujdin being a corruption of Mu'izzu'ddin used by
mistake. By Hazrat Kati Katalmin is meant the above by mistake
for Muhammad ; Kati being for Qazi (compare our Cadi), and Katalmin
being reference to Muhammad's title of 'Aliu'l-Qattal. The whole
line has reference to the doctrine of jihdd or religious war against
infidels (crescentade).
X The reference here in a confused way is to the four sacred books of
the Musahnans ; Taurdt, the Pentateuch ; Zah&r, the Psalms : Injil,
the Gospels : the Qurdn.
