"Malik Kafur arrived at Madurai on 10th April 1311. Amir Khusrau wrote that Malik Kafur, ..arrived at the city of Mathra (Madura), the dwelling place of the brother of the Rai Sundar Pandya. They found the city empty, for the Rai had fled with the Ranis, but had left two elephants in the temple of Jagnar (Jagannath). The elephants were captured and the temple burnt ."
