In his interesting note on the Rāīsīna grant Pt. B. N. Reu describes the puppet ruler who was set up by Ghāzī-ud-dīn after the murder of 'Ālamgīr II as Muhī-us-sunnat, with the title of Shāh Jahān II. He has evidently followed the Sairul-mutaākhīrīn (III, p. 375, Cambray's edition). But Mr. S. H. Hodivala has shown (p. 310, “Historical studies in Mughal numismatics”) that there is better authority for describing him as the son of Muhī-us-sunnat, and that his name was Muhī-ul-millat or Muhī-ud-dīn. In any case he was the third Shāh Jahān, as this regal title had also been assumed by Rafi'-ud-daula in a.h. 1131 (a.d. 1719).
