1495 AD - 1518 AD : Qutbul-Mulk was appointed as the Governor of Golkonda in Tilangana in 901 AH /1495-96 AD who controlled over Warangal, Rachakonda, Devarkonda and Koilkonda and was awarded the title Qutb-ul-Mulk (Pillar of the Realm) as military chief.

Language : Persian and Naskh. This inscription on a Dargah of Nizamu`d-Din, slab in the southern wall from Kodangal in the Mahbubnagar District, states how the two villages called Awlin the big and Awlin the small were merged into one and named Husainabad which was endowed for running the langar of the twelve imams. The record constitutes a will executed by Malik Qutbu-l-Mulk, the progenitor of the Qutb Shahi rulers of Golconda in A.H. 919 (1513-14 A.D.). It is worth noting that the inscription, in as much as it does not mention Qutb Ul-Mulk with any royal title, is additional epigraphical evidence against Firishta's statement that Qutb Ul-Mulk assumed kingship in A.H. 918 (1512-13 A.D.).
