Abstract
It is a common notion that during the reign of Muslim
kings or Sultans, Sanskrit was not given much attention,
and that was one of the reasons it declined. Many research
papers have appeared from time to time in
support of and against this idea. 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 bee n 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
