Shums Khan immediately applied to Rana Koombho of Chittoor for aid; and as the Rana's family had long wished for an opportunity to humble the chief of Nagoor, he marched against him. The garrison, without offering resistance, agreed to receive Shums Khan; and he was formally re-instated with the understanding that he was to dilapidate part of the battlements, in token of submission to the Rana, after which he returned. So far from doing this, however, Shums Khan improved the fortifications, and set the Rana at defiance; who, enraged at this conduct, returned to Chittoor, only to collect a large force, and then marched against Nagoor. Shums Khan, unable to cope with him, left the place, under charge of one of his best officers, and proceeded to Ahmudabad to obtain reinforcements. - [Previous: 205.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.205.4) - [Next: 205.6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.205.6) - [Up: 205](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.205) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.205.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.205.5) · Pramāṇa
