It is generally accepted that Alam died in 818 AH (1415-16 AD), with the chronogram of this date being Nur banur-shud (light went into light).[10] This is further evident from date cited by the book in possession of the guardians of his shrine as well as the 17th-century book Mirat al Asrar.[2] His death was followed by Ganesha's second attempt in taking control of Bengal although Ganesha died a few years later.[3]
