After becoming the ruler, Shams Khan, refused to weaken his defenses, and sought the help of Qutbuddin, the Sultan of Gujarat (Ahmad Shah died in 1442). Angered by this, Kumbha captured Nagaur in 1456, and also Kasili, Khandela and Sakambhari. In reaction to this, Qutbuddin captured Sirohiand attacked Kumbhalmer. Mahmud Khalji and Qutbuddin then reached an agreement (treaty of Champaner) to attack Mewar and divide the spoils. Qutbuddin captured Abu, but was unable to capture Kumbhalmer, and his advance towards Chittor was also blocked. In a patricide, Rana Kumbha was killed by his son Udaysimha (Udai Singh I). His achievements, however, continue to inspire successive generations of Indians.
