In A.D. 1499 Mahmúd Begada, sovereign of Gujarát, overran Khándesh; and Ahmad Nizám Sháh marched to Burhánpur to help Adil Khán Faruki of Khándesh: their united forces drove Mahmúd back, but next year he returned and exacted tribute from Adil Khán. When Ahmad returned from Khándesh, he again attacked Daulatábád; and at last took it. About this time the kings of the Dakhan mutually acknowledged each other and settled the boundaries of their respective kingdoms. That of Ahmadnagar comprised the present districts of Daulatábád, Ahmadnagar, the open country of Poona and Násik, and part of the Konkan. Ahmad Nizám Sháh is said to have reduced the fort of Antur and other places in the Sátmálás, and to have made the rájás of Báglán and Gálna pay him tribute. On the death of Adil Khán of Khándesh in A.D. 1503, his brother Dáud Khán came to the throne, and reigned till A.D. 1510. His death was the signal for confusion till Adil Khán II. was put on the throne by his grandfather Mahmúd of Gujarát.
