In 1517 Amīr ‘Alī Barīd, taking Mahmūd Shāh with him, marched to punish Sharza Khān, the son and successor of Khudāvand Khān of Māhūr, who had plundered Kandhār and Udgīr. Sharza Khān and one of his brothers were slain in the field, and Māhūr was besieged, but ‘Alā-ud-dīn ‘Imād Shāh marched to its relief and compelled Amīr ‘Alī Barīd to retire. He placed Ghālib Khān, another son of Khudāvand Khān, in Māhūr as his vassal, and thus established his authority in southern as well as northern Berar.
