Similarly, there are many contradictory statements in the books of History regarding Sultan Mahmood Shah I of Gujarat. Scholarships in recent years have pointed out some data that disprove many of the things that have been said about Mahmud Shah I. One of the aspects that have been highlighted is that he was not only a lover of Sanskrit language and literature, but also a mentor of Sanskrit, and in his court, a Sanskrit poet had the status of Malek-ush Sho'ara.
