Burhanu-d din studied under Nizamu-d din Aulia, the sultanu-l mashaikh. of Dehli; and Saiad Mahomed of Karmania relates in the ” Seyaru-l Aulia,” that Burhanu-d din was invested with the mantle and cap, the symbols of the kaliphat, in succession to the sultanu-l mashaikh. Other writers state, that on the death of Shah Muntajabu-d din at Daulatabad, his brother Burhamed-d din was sent to succeed him, and was accompanied by 1,400 disciples It appears more probable however, that Burhanu-d din succeeded the sultanu-l mashaikh as kaliph, and that he emigrated to the Dakhan when sultan Mahomed Tughlik Shah transferred the capital from Delhi to Daulatabad. Mujudu-d din in his ” Bakiat-el-Gharib” gives a biography of Burhanu-d din; and Khaji Saiad Baksh and Shamsu-d din, the nephew of Hasan bin es Sanjari, were the particular friends of the saint. Burhanu-d din allowed music and dancing in the religious exercises at his convent. He remained for some time at Daulatabad and then left for Roza, where ho died in H. 741.
