Barani's contemporary Isami does not mention any other Mongol invasion after Kopek's invasion. Duwa Khan died in 1306-1307, and the Chagatai Khanate was too weak to launch an invasion of India over the next few years.
Alauddin rejected the advice, arguing that if he showed weakness, the general public and the warriors will lose respect for him.
