He never firmly controlled Delhi and was driven east by rival Sur claimants and advancing Mughal forces. Jaunpur, a strategic provincial capital controlling the eastern Gangetic routes, became his main power base. Coins struck at Jaunpur are rare because they were issued briefly during intense civil war, limited territorial control, disrupted administration, and the rapid collapse of Suri authority before Mughal reconquest
