Ally Bereed Shah deputed an ambassador to the court of Beejapoor, and solicited Ally Adil Shah to march to his aid. The latter consented; but required, as a preliminary, that Ally Bereed should give up a certain young eunuch, celebrated for his beauty throughout the Deccan, and to whom he was much attached. The reduction of the fort of Bidur appearing inevitable without assistance from Beejapoor, Ally Bereed reluctantly agreed to the demand of Ally Adil Shah. When the latter heard of the approach of this youth, he went out to meet him, and appointed an elegant palace for his reception. But on his first interview, the young man was so incensed at the behaviour of Ally Adil Shah, that, drawing forth a dagger, he stabbed the King to the heart. This event happened on the night of Thursday, the 23d of Suffur, A.H. 987. - [Previous: 119.6.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.119.6.7) - [Next: 119.7.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.119.7.1) - [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.119.6.8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.119.6.8) · Pramāṇa
