203.3.2

“Sooltan Hooshung fled to the fort of Sarungpoor, to which Ahmud Shah laid siege; but he was obliged, in consequence of an epidemic that raged in the camp, to abandon his purpose, and commence his retreat; in which he was closely pursued by Sooltan Hooshung, who hung upon his flanks, and harassed him on the line of march. At length Ahmud Shah halting, brought on a general action, in which Sooltan Hooshung was defeated with the loss of four thousand nine hundred men; which enabled Ahmud Shah, though not without much difficulty, to bring off his army; and, in consideration of what his troops had suffered during this campaign, he abstained from any foreign attacks for some years.” In the year 829, he marched to retake Idur. On the banks of the river Hatmutty, in the vicinity of Idur, he constructed a fort, which he called Ahmudnuggur, and then returned to his capital. On this occasion the Raja Poonja Ray made some defence; but being defeated, fled to the hills of Beesulnuggur.
