According to the historian 'Abd alHaqq, the author of the Tärikh-i Haqqi (written in 1592–3), with the decline of the power of the sultans of Delhi, Budhan Khan of Sindh, the chief of the Baluch tribe of the Längāh, assembled his force at Uchch and invaded Multan. He expelled the khan-i khanan, occupied the fort, took the title of Mahmūd Shāh in 1437 and became the first ruler of the independent state of Multan. He ruled for sixteen years and laid the foundations of the Långåh sultanate.
