Malik in his Majmu' (p. 1 3) as follows:' In the district of Deccan there is a village called Daham Gam. Iman (faith) spread in this district from this village, just as in Gujarat it spread from Cambay. In this village there were two men who acquired knowledge, then proceeded from India, in the time of al-Mustansir billah, to Egypt and joined the Isma'ili faith at the bidding of Sayyidna al-Mu'ayyad from whom they acquired much knowledge. Their names were (Ba)Lam Nath(known as Moulai Abadullah) and Rup Nath (later called Mawla'i Nurad-Din). Both of them returned from Egypt to their native village, (Khambat(Cam Bay, and) Daham Gam(near Aurangabad), where their tombs still exist near Aurangabad."
