A treaty was forthwith concluded, by which it was agreed that the river Godavery should be the boundary between the Mahomedan kingdom of Tulingana and the Hindoo territory of Orissa; after which the seals of the King and Vusnad Dew were affixed, and the district of Ellore was made over to the Mahomedans. Upon the return of the army to Golconda, the King heard that during his absence Krishn Ray of Beejanuggur had invaded some of his frontier districts. Sooltan Koolly, therefore, immediately prepared for war, and in the first instance marched against Condbeer. On his arrival there the fort was invested; but the enemy's troops from the two hill-forts of Belumconda and Inaconda (each situated about two gows distant from Condbeer) came to the assistance of the garrison, and made several successful night-attacks on the besiegers. This mode of warfare so much annoyed the King that he quitted Condbeer, and proceeded to reduce the other two forts. In the first instance he surrounded Belumconda; but the garrison defended itself with great obstinacy, while the army of the Hindoos in the field did not cease to make night-attacks. In these assaults the Mahomedans lost several of their best officers and many soldiers. - [Previous: 116.4.8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.116.4.8) - [Next: 116.5.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.116.5.2) - [Up: 116.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.116.5) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.116.5.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.116.5.1) · Pramāṇa
