Explanation

The map most plausibly depicts Akbar’s kingdom during his Deccan advances around the turn of the 17th century. Akbar had already integrated much of North India and pushed into the Deccan — his forces occupied the Khandesh region and made substantial gains in the Ahmednagar/Berar areas by the 1590s and very early 1600s, setting the stage for the 1601 operations mentioned in the question [1]. Earlier conquests such as Gujarat, Kashmir and Sindh under Akbar confirm the southward expansion that a map showing Khandesh’s capture would reflect, matching Akbar’s territorial extent rather than later Aurangzeb expansions [2].
