From this treaty dates the estrangement between Khāndesh and Mālwa, which had hitherto been allies. Nasīr Khān resented Hūshang’s failure to support him adequately against Ahmad Shāh and friendly relations were broken off. In 1429 Nasīr, in spite of the old animosity of his house towards the Bahmanids, attempted to form an alliance with the Deccan by giving his daughter in marriage to ‘Alā-ud-dīn Ahmad, son of Ahmad Shāh, the ninth king of that dynasty, but the union engendered strife, and Khāndesh, after a disastrous war with her powerful neighbour, was at length driven into the arms of Gujarāt.
