	The founder of the dynasty, [[Yusuf Adil Shah]] (1490–1510), was appointed governor of the province by its Bahmani rulers, before creating a de facto independent Bijapur state. Yusuf and ~~his~~ son, Ismail, generally used the title ''Adil ~~Khan~~''. '~~Khan~~', meaning 'Chief' in various Central Asian cultures and adopted in Persian, conferred a lower status than 'Shah', indicating royal rank. Only with the rule of Yusuf's grandson, [[Ibrahim Adil Shah I]] (1534–1558), did the title of ''Adil Shah'' come into common use~~. Even then, Bijapur rulers recognized [[Safavid Iran\|Safavid Persian]] suzerainty over their realm~~.<ref>{{Cite journal \|last=Anwar \|first=M.

	The Bijapur Sultanate's borders changed considerably throughout its history. Its northern boundary remained relatively stable, straddling contemporary Southern [[Maharashtra]] and Northern [[Karnataka]]. The Sultanate expanded southward, first with the conquest of the [[Raichur Doab]] following the defeat of the [[Vijayanagara Empire\|Vijayanagara]] empire at the [[Battle of Talikota]] in 1565. Later campaigns, notably during the reign of [[Mohammed Adil Shah, Sultan of Bijapur\|Mohammed Adil Shah]] (1627–1657), extended Bijapur's formal borders and nominal authority as far south as [[Bangalore]]. Bijapur was bounded on the West by the Portuguese state of [[Goa]] and on the East by the Sultanate of [[Golconda]], ruled by the [[Qutb Shahi]] dynasty.
