H. 936, the King had a son born, who was called Ibrahim Koolly. — At the time that Sooltan Koolly was engaged in war with Ismael Adil Shah, Kasim Bereed Shah of Bidur took advantage of that circumstance to devastate many of the northern towns and districts of Tulingana. After having remained some time at his capital, Sooltan Koolly was again in the field with the determination of taking revenge for the late incursions into Tulingana. He accordingly marched to Bidur, where an action was fought, which terminated in a drawn battle on the first day; but on the second it ended in the total overthrow of the Bereed Shahy troops, with the loss of one hundred and fifty elephants; after which Sooltan Koolly gave orders for his cavalry to disperse in all directions, and to lay waste the whole of the Bereed Shahy territory. On this occasion the zemindars of Gujweel, Ellore, and Tipran, came forward and paid tribute, and delivered over their country to the King's troops, of which they immediately took possession. Sooltan Koolly Kootb Shah now proceeded to reduce the strong fortress of Koheer. When Kasim Bereed Shah heard of this movement, he marched to oppose the Kootb Shahy army. On his arrival, he was opposed by Sooltan Koolly with half of his army, the other half being left to continue the siege: an action took place, which terminated in a drawn battle. - [Previous: 116.5.8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.116.5.8) - [Next: 116.6.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.116.6.2) - [Up: 116.6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.116.6) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.116.6.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.116.6.1) · Pramāṇa
