"A series of rebellions, in which a son of Sikandar played some part, disturbed the reign of ‘Ali Shah, but all were suppressed. Later, the king left the country on a pilgrimage, leaving his brother Shahi Khan in charge of the country. But ‘Ali Shah’s father-in- law, the king of Jammu®5, reproached him and induced him to return with an army from Jammu. Shahi Khan was glad at his brother's return, but was angry at the arrival of the foreign army with him. He returned the kingdom to his brother but left Kashmir with the Thakkuras and went to Jasrath, the chief of the Khokkaras (vv. 928-31). The king asked him to return. but he refused. Thereupon ‘Ali Shah led an exnedition against Jasrath for having given shelter to his brother, but was defeated. His end is not known, but according to late accounts ‘Ali Shah was captured by the Khokkaras and died at Chadura."
