Mahmūd now made Chāmpāner one of his principal places of residence, giving it the name of Muhammadābād, the other being Mustafā-ābād or Junāgarh. The kingdom of Gujarāt had reached its extreme limits. After this conquest Mahmūd held possession of the country from the frontiers of Māndū to the frontiers of Sind, by Junāgarh; to the Siwālik Parbat by Jālor and Nāgaur; to Nāsik Trimbak by Baglāna; from Burhānpur to Berar and Malkāpur of the Deccan; to Karkūn and the river Narbada on the side of Burhānpur; on the side of Īdar as far as Chitor and Kūmbhalgarh, and on the side of the sea as far as the bounds of Chaul. It seems to have been after the conquest of Chāmpāner that Mahmūd was first styled *Begarha*.
