- It becomes crystal clear from the latter part of her life that after all the atrocities and persecutions, she was constantly worshipping the Hindu god.
- Even after being forced to marry Allauddin’s eldest son, the mental agonies of Devaldevi did not cease. For, immediately after Allauddin’s death, there was a revolution, in which Allauddin’s second son, Mubarik, attacked and blinded his brother along with his followers and then put them to death. Installing himself as the Sultan, he seized his brother’s wife, Devaldevi, and forced her to marry him.
- This alone seems to be the civilized and polite tradition of the Muslim Sultans and Emperors to marry again the fairest of queens and wives of the late Sultans or Emperors, dead or put to death!
- This way did the former Hindu princess, Devaldevi rise to the highest status of a Sultana! However, she abhorred Mubarik most bitterly, yet she had, per force, to keep marital relations with him. Although her precious body was thus continually defiled, she had the most favourite opportunity of her life owing to this marriage of hers with Mubarik.
- In gaining the Sultanate of Delhi, Mubarik had mainly to depend on the former Hindu slave, who later on was forced to become a Muslim, and who now had become the commander-in-chief of the whole Sultanate of Delhi—namely Khushrukhan! Mubarik himself had willingly entrusted the whole administration to Khushrukhan, for he had no time to mind other things except every sort of depravity and vice. For instance, he was extremely fond of dressing like a woman, going to the greatest noblemen of the court with the whole band of dancing girls, and there dancing himself, or having dancing and musical concerts there. So, while this licentious Mubarik was fully engrossed with his various vices, his chief minister of state, Khushrukhan, who had the burning memory of his former Hindu wife, and his present wife but the former Hindu princess, Devaldevi, who had similar thoughts and tendencies and similar mishaps in life as the former—both being Gujarati Hindus originally—had the greatest opportunity of coming into closest contact, of developing the strongest love-ties and the greatest confidence in each other. They could carry on the day-to-day political intrigues and plans authoritatively and with impunity, even to the solitude of the innermost secret chambers of the Sultan’s private palace.
