The consequence was, that the affairs of state were thrown into confusion, and civil war appeared inevitable. In every meeting it was discussed, whether it were not advisable to march against the King of Beejapoor; and both parties behaved insolently towards Meer Sufvy, the ambassador of Ibrahim Adil Shah II., who had arrived to condole and congratulate as is usual in lineal successions to the throne; a conduct the more unjustifiable, when we know he was a syud of indisputable descent. Ibrahim Adil Shah no sooner heard of these proceedings than he declared war, and marched to Shahdoorg for the purpose of supporting Ibrahim Nizam Shah, who had now entirely lost his authority. Yekhlas Khan made preparations to oppose the Beejapoories; while the minister, Meean Munjoo, making overtures to him, proposed that a peace should be concluded with Ibrahim Adil Shah, in order that the whole of the forces of the Deccan might co-operate against the intended invasion of Akbur Padshah. Yekhlas Khan, however, was not to be diverted from his purpose, and determined to risk every thing by fighting an action with Ibrahim Adil Shah. Meean Munjoo said nothing, while Ibrahim Nizam Shah assented to the measure. - [Previous: 103.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.103.1) - [Next: 103.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.103.3) - [Up: 103](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.103) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.103.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.103.2) · Pramāṇa
