‘Ādil Khān III of Khāndesh cemented his alliance with Gujarāt by marrying a daughter of Sultān Muzaffar, Mahmūd's son, who afterwards succeeded his father as Muzaffar II. One of his first acts was to cause Malik Husain, who was again plotting with the king of Ahmadnagar, to be assassinated. The dispatch from Gujarāt of a large force averted a danger which threatened the state from the direction of Ahmadnagar, and the reign of ‘Ādil Khān III was not marked by any noteworthy event. On his death, on August 25, 1520, he was succeeded by his son, Muhammad I, generally known as Muhammad Shāh, from his having been summoned to the throne of Gujarāt, which he never lived to occupy.
