Sulabut Khan Afshar, a Golconda general, came up with and completely defeated them, taking the two famous elephants called Futteh Lushkur and Futteh Jung, and the fish-standard from the enemy, while Yeswunt Row had much difficulty in carrying off the ladies in safety. It has been before observed, that the allies left thirty thousand horse in the neighbourhood of Kowlas to cover the retreat of the two armies, the one proceeding to Berar and the other towards Bunkapoor. This division accordingly laid waste and plundered the country on the borders of Tulingana. Ibrahim Kootb Shah despatched Meer Shah Mahomed Anjoo with eight thousand cavalry to oppose them, and also permitted his relation, Mirza Hoossein Beg Toorkman, with four hundred Toorkmans, to accompany the Golconda division. Between Kowlas and Daigloor, the troops were opposed by Syud Heidur, the governor of the latter place, who very imprudently attacked the King's forces with less than three thousand cavalry and some infantry; but he was easily defeated, and pursued into the fort of Daigloor, which thus fell without resistance. - [Previous: 119.5.9](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.119.5.9) - [Next: 119.6.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.119.6.2) - [Up: 119.6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.119.6) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.119.6.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.119.6.1) · Pramāṇa
