H is name was Badiuddîn Shâh, and he is

born at Aleppo in 1050 A.D. He is supposed
to have died at Makhanpur aged 383 years,
after expelling a demon called Makan dêo from
the place. He is believed by some to be still
alive (whence his name), Muhammad having
given him the power of living without drawing
breath. His devotees are said never to be
scorched with fh-e, and to be secure against
venomous snakes and scorpions, the bites of
which they are said to have power to cure.
Women who enter his shrine are believed to be
seized with violent pains as if they were being
burnt alive (see Ibbetson-Panjâb Ethnography,
p. 287). Beale, in his Biographical Dictionary,
says he was a disciple of Shaikh Muhammad
Taifûri Bastâmi, and is the founder of the
sect called Madâriya in India. Many
curious anecdotes are related of him. He died
on 20th December 1434 A.D., 838 A.H., aged
124 years, and is buried at Makhanpur in
Kanauj. He was a contemporary of Qâzî
Shahâbuddin Daulatâhâdi, who lived in the
time of Sultân Ibrahim Sharqi of Jaunpur.
A visit to his shrine is said to ensure offspring.
