Julmoor was now occupied by the Mahomedans; and the whole of the province of Cossimcota promised to repay, during a peace, the trouble and expense of the protracted war; when on a sudden Kishtum Raj, the son of the late Rawoot Row, raising a force, wrote to Bengal, inviting Mukoond Raj Bhaybulundur to return and make another attempt to recover his patrimonial territory; himself commencing the war by seizing the two towns of Potnoor and Mudwara. On intimation of this violence, Meer Zein-ool-Abideen detached Chungiz Khan, D'hurmarow, and Balyrow, to attack the enemy.
