After reaching the Krishna, the kings of Golconda and Ahmudnuggur wrote to Yeltumraj, requiring him to become a member of the confederacy; but a circumstance occurred, which tended to dissolve this union as suddenly as it had been formed. On the accession of Moortuza Nizam Shah to the throne, he had scarcely attained his twelfth year; and the affairs of his government were conducted by his mother, the Queen-dowager, Khonza Hoomayoon. At that time she had been induced by ill-advised persons about her to demand from Yeltumraj two lacks of hoons for aid to be afforded to him by the allies against the encroachments of the King of Beejapoor. Yeltumraj, who rather expected that the allies would restore the countries taken by Ally Adil Shah from Ramraj instead of applying to him for money, sent a message to Ibrahim Kootb Shah, informing him of the circumstance. - [Previous: 119.4.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.119.4.3) - [Next: 119.4.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.119.4.5) - [Up: 119.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.119.4) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.119.4.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.119.4.4) · Pramāṇa
