The renowned Amirs who, under the leadership of Shihab-uddin Ahmad Khan, had been appointed against Rajah ‘Ali Khan, and had driven him into the fortress, and keeping him closely beseiged had ravaged the country, were very near taking the fortress. Meanwhile Qutb-uddin Muhammad Khan became anxious, and separating himself from the Amirs went towards Bahrouch and Barodah, where he held jagirs, and which through the Mirza had been thrown into the direst confusion. The financial affairs of Asir and Burhanpur had become so completely embarrassed, that the Amirs had to content themselves with receiving from Rajah ‘Ali Khan so much tribute as he was then in a position to pay, and sent it to Court, and themselves returned to their jagirs.
