Venkatadry, in this extremity, applied for relief to Khoonza Sooltana, who having marched at the head of an army, accompanied by her young son, against the dominions of Beejapoor, compelled Ally Adil Shah to retire from before Anagoondy to defend his own country; but peace was soon after concluded between these Mahomedan princes; and a league was subsequently entered into against Toofal Khan, the prime minister of Boorhan Imad Shah, who had usurped the authority of Berar. Both the Adil Shahy and Nizam Shahy troops having entered that country plundered it, and marched back again before the rains. On their return Ally Adil Shah treacherously endeavoured to seize the person of the young King of Ahmudnuggur; but his mother, the Regent, gaining intimation of his intention, suddenly decamped during the night, and a river which intervened having swelled rapidly, the two armies were effectually separated, and the Nizam Shahies were enabled to gain the fort of Ahmudnuggur. - [Previous: 100.1.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.100.1.1) - [Next: 100.1.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.100.1.3) - [Up: 100.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.100.1) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.100.1.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.100.1.2) · Pramāṇa
