Dilāvar Khān remained in power from 1582 to 1590, and though he established the Sunni religion in Bījāpur he sought peace with the Shiah kingdoms, and endeavoured to secure it by means of matrimonial alliances. Ibrāhīm II married a princess of Golconda, and his sister Khadīja was given in marriage to Husain, son and heir of Murtazā Nizām Shāh, but this alliance bred nothing but strife, and the princess of Bījāpur was neglected until her brother, by invading Ahmadnagar and besieging the fortress of Ausa, compelled Murtazā to celebrate her marriage with Husain.
