Mahmūd was a profligate youth, and his tyranny drove his minister, Jām Bāyazīd, on whom Husain had bestowed the important fief of Shorkot, into rebellion. War broke out between the king and his vassal, who summoned to his aid Daulat Khān Lodī, governor of the Punjab. The combination was too strong for the king of Multān, who was compelled to relinquish his claims to sovereignty over the Shorkot district, and to acquiesce in Daulat Khān’s decision that the Rāvī should be regarded as the northern frontier of the kingdom of Multān¹. Shorkot was thus lost to Multān and became a fief in the province of the Punjab.
