Bahādur’s situation gave him some cause for anxiety. He had no prospect of capturing Daulatābād, one of his allies had deserted him, the other, Muhammad of Khāndesh, desired peace, and the rainy season of 1529 was approaching. He therefore permitted Muhammad to open negotiations, and after some discussion agreed to peace on terms sufficiently humiliating to Burhān Nizām Shāh. Both he and ‘Alā-ud-dīn ‘Imād Shāh were to cause the *khutba* to be recited in Bahādur’s name in their dominions, and were to appear before him as vassals; all the elephants taken from ‘Alā-ud-dīn and Muhammad were to be restored, and Pāthrī and Māhūr were to be ceded again to Berar. Burhān fulfilled the first condition by causing the *khutba* to be recited on one occasion in Bahādur’s name, but it was only with great difficulty that Muhammad of Khāndesh recovered his elephants, and those of ‘Alā-ud-dīn were never restored, nor were Pāthrī and Māhūr ceded to him.
