Suhaldev was a legendary king from Shravasti town of India. Persian hagiography Mirat-i-Masudi, written in 17th century, popularly mentions him to have defeated and killed the Ghaznavid general Ghazi Saiyyad Salar Masud at Bahraich in 1034 CE. He was killed by Syed Ibrahim, a commander of Salar Masud.
== Sources == During the reign of Jahangir (r. 1605–1627), Abd-ur-Rahman Chishti penned Mirat-i-Masudi, a Persian hagiography in praise of Ghazi Miyan, a Turkic commander. It is doubtful whether Miyan existed at all but he was already occupying a prominent spot-of-veneration in public memory as a quasi-mythic warrior-saint and Chisti accentuated the process, employing an imaginary past.
