At that time Sooltan Koolly Kootb Shah sent an envoy, and made friendly overtures to the foreign invader. But when Bahadur Shah returned to Guzerat, Ismael Adil Shah, instigated by Boorhan Nizam Shah, laid siege to the fort of Kulliany, in the year 940. The King of Golconda, unable to cope with the Adil Shahy forces, only sent a detachment of cavalry to cut off their supplies. Fortunately, Ismael Adil Shah, being taken suddenly ill, died about this time; upon which Sooltan Koolly Kootb Shah sent an envoy to Boorhan Nizam Shah to mediate a peace, which was concluded. Some years afterwards Jumsheed, the King's eldest son, who had long been wishing for his father's death, induced one of his slaves to undertake to assassinate him; and accordingly, when the King was one day examining some jewels, this slave drew his dagger and stabbed him to the heart. This event took place in the year 950. The slave flew to relate the news to Jumsheed, who, fearing lest the circumstance of his connivance might become known, struck the assassin dead on the spot. Sooltan Koolly Kootb Shah reigned for a period of nearly thirty-three years, and left three sons, Jumsheed, Heidur, and Ibrahim. - [Previous: 111.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.111.3) - [Next: 112](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.112) - [Up: 111](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.111) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.111.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.111.4) · Pramāṇa
