Shāh Jahān visited Daulatābād in 1636 and Muhammad ‘Ādil Shāh was compelled to sue for peace. The emperor, who had no designs against the two remaining kingdoms of the Deccan and sincerely desired peace, granted him terms more favourable than he had a right to expect. Parenda, Bīdar, Gulbarga and Sholāpur were restored to him, he was allowed to retain possession of Naldrug and eastern Kalyānī, and the Konkan, as far north as Kalyān, and the tract between the Nīrā and Bhīmā rivers, as far north as Chākan, which had formerly belonged to Ahmadnagar, were ceded to him. In return for these concessions he promised to pay an annual tribute of two millions of *hūns*, equivalent to eight millions of rupees.
