In ancient times this country was a waste and but few people lived about the fortress of A´sír. The locality was traditionally connected with Ashwatthámá* and established as a shrine. It is related that Malik Ráji from whom Bahádur* is the ninth in descent, under stress of misfortune came from Bidar* to these parts and established himself in the village of Karóndá,* a dependency of Thálnér, but being molested by the natives, he repaired to Delhi and took service under Sulṭán Firóz. The king admired his skill as a huntsman, and his reward being left to his own choice, he received a grant of that village* and by judicious policy acquired possession of other estates and reclaimed much waste land. In the year 784 A. H. (A. D. 1382), he made Thálnér his seat of government, assumed the title of Aádil Sháh and reigned for 17 years. He was succeeded by his son Ghizni* Khán under the title of Naṣír Sháh, after which this province became known as Khándés. He reigned 40 years, 6 months, and 26 days. On his death his son Mírán Sháh administered the state. By some he is called Aádil Sháh. He occupied the throne 3 years, 8 months and 23 days. He was followed by his son Mubárik Sháh Chaukandi* Sulṭán during 17 years, 6 months and 29 days. His son Aádil Sháh Ayná* whose name was Aḥsan Khán, had a prosperous reign of 46 years, 8 months and 2 days. He removed to Burhánpúr and made himself master of A´sír.* Sulṭán Aḥmad of Gujerát, the founder of Aḥmedábad, gave him his daughter in marriage. At his death, his brother Dáúd Sháh reigned for 7 years, 1 month and 17 days. Aádil Sháh (II) son of Ḥasan* took refuge in Gujerát. Sulṭán Máḥmúd Bígarah* Ráji gave him in marriage Ḳíh* the daughter of Sulṭán Muzaffar, (his son) and accompanying him to Khándés, restored him to his kingdom and returned to his own. He reigned 13 years. He left two sons, Mírán Muḥammad Sháh and Mubárik Sháh. Sulṭán Bahádur of Gujarát being on terms of friendly alliance with the first-named* made him his heir, and guardian to his nephew Maḥmúd and his own brother Mubárik. Mirán Sháh, from a sense of their deserts, and with political sagacity did them no injury and contenting himself with the kingdom Khándés, restored Maḥmúd to the sovereignty of Gujerát. He reigned 16 years, 2 months and 3 days. When the measure of his days was full, the nobles raised his son Ráji to the throne. Mirán Mubárik wrested it from him and reigned in succession to his brother, administering the government for 31 years, 6 months and 5 days. He was succeeded by his son Mírán Muḥammad who reigned 9 years, 9 months and 15 days. When he died, his younger brother Rája Alí Khán* was elected and assumed the title of Aádil Sháh. His administration was conducted with ability and he was killed in the wars of the Deccan fighting on the side of his Majesty's victorious troops. He was buried at Burhánpúr, after a successful reign of 21 years, 3 months and 20 days. At his death the succession devolved on Khizr Khán, his son, who took the name of Bahádur Sháh. But the star of his destiny was obscured and in the 45th year of the Divine era, he was deprived of his kingdom as has been recorded in its proper place.
