of Kapadvanj and he was joined by Ítimád Khán, while Násir-ul-Mulk, taking Sultán Áhmed with him to Ahmedabad, assumed the entire government of the country. After a short time he assembled an army and marched against Sayad Mubárak and Ítimád Khán encamping at Kamand, the village now called Od Kámod, ten miles north-east of Áhmedábád at the head of 50,000 horse. Ítimád feared to attack so strong a force. But Sayad Mubárak, who knew of the defection of Ulugh Khán and Imád-ul-Mulk, surprised Násir-ul-Mulk's army at night. During the confusion Ulugh Khán and Imád-ul-Mulk, disgusted with the assumption of Násir-ul-Mulk, deserted him and bringing the young Sultán with them joined Sayad Mubárak and Ítimád Khán. Násir-ul-Mulk was forced to fly, and after a short time died in the mountains of Pal. Ikhtiyár-ul-Mulk, Fateh Khán Balúch, and Hasan Khán Dakhani now set up another king, a descendant of Áhmed, named Sháhu. A battle was fought near Mehmúdábád in which Sháhu and his supporters were defeated and Hasan Khán Dakhani was slain. Before the battle Fateh Khán Balúch had been induced to forsake Sháhu, and Ikhtiyár-ul-Mulk, taking Sháhu with him, fled. The nobles now divided Gujarát into the following shares: Áhmed Sháh allocated Áhmedábád and the Daskrohi sub-division for his private purse. Ítimád Khán and his fellows controlled Kadi, Jhalawad, Petlad, Nadiad, Bhil, Radhanpur, Sami, Munjpur, Godhra, and Sorath. Sayad Mubárak and his fellows controlled Pátan and Khambhat, with its Chorási or 84 villages, Dholka, Ghogha, and Dhandhuka, Champaner, Sarnal, Balasinor, and Kapadvanj. Imád-ul-Mulk Rúmi and fellows controlled Bharuch, Baroda and Surat as far as the Sultánpur-Nandurbár frontier. Nobles under Ítimád Khán controlled Modasa and surrounding districts. Of these shares Ítimád Khán bestowed the country of Sorath on Tátár Khán Ghori; the districts of Radhanpur, Sami, and Munjpur on Fateh Khán Balúch; Nadiad on Malik-ush-Shark, and some of the dependencies of Jhalawad on Álaf Khán Habshi. Sayad Mubárak conferred the territory of Patan on Músa Khán and Sher Khán Fauládi, Imád-ul-Mulk Rúmi bestowed the district of Baroda on Álaf Khán Habshi and the port of Surat on his wife's brother Khudáwand Khán Rúmi. About 1552, Álam Khán, who had formerly served the former Sultan and later taken refuge in Delhi due to failed revolt, returned, and, through the influence of Sayad Mubárak, was allowed to remain. The Sayad gave him and Ázam Humáyún Champaner, and Ítimád Khán gave Godhra to Álp Khán
