"During the period of Government of Sultan Ibrahim, the Hindus were prohibited from openly worshipping idols, sounding nakus, and leaving their houses in the rainy season for the purpose of burning their dead on the banks of the river near the city. He also levied a tax on them, and at length, in the year of the Hijri 806 or AD 1403-04 ordered them to leave Jaunpur, and to take up their residence in its vicinity. Their houses were given to the professors of the faith, and the Hindus, being without friend or assistant, were obliged to abandon their homes and to reside in the circumjacent villages. This is quoted from Khair-ud-din's History of Jaunpur translated by Pogson and reported by Cunningham. ... Khair-ud-din, in his History of Jaunpur, observed that the Sultan then gave an order for the destruction of the Dewal (temple) A tala, the Dewal of Bijay Manda! and the Dewal of Chachakpur ... He also commended mosques should be built on their foundations. He continued that Bijay Mandai be converted into Khalis-Mukhlis and Chachakpur into Jhanjhari (chain like) masjid."
