Burhánpur became the capital of Khándesh and one of the most important towns south of the Narbada, standing on one of the highways between Hindustán and the Dakhan. In A.D. 1417, with the help of the king of Málwa, Málik Názír recovered the fort of Thálner from his brother; took Sultánpur and overran Nandurbár in A.D. 1420, but his troops were soon driven out by the Gujarát army. In A.D. 1435 he invaded Berar, which was then subject to the Bahamani kings, but he was attacked by Ala-ud-dín Bahamani, who took Burhánpur and ravaged Khándesh. Málik Názír took refuge in the fort of Laling, but was defeated and besieged by the Dakhan troops in A.D. 1437. He died during the siege, which was raised on the approach of aid from Gujarát. The Khándesh dominions appear to have included the country between the Sátpudás and the Tápti as far west as Thálner, which was a frontier fort, and as far east as Burhánpur and Asírgad; and to the south of the Tápti, the country from Zeinábád up to the Sátmála hills, as far west as Laling, which was also a frontier fort. - [Previous: c10.206](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.fleet-1882.c10.206) - [Next: c10.208](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.fleet-1882.c10.208) - [Up: c10](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.fleet-1882.c10) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.fleet-1882.c10.207](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.fleet-1882.c10.207) · Pramāṇa
