On the following year, the Rana broke the treaty, and marched to attack Nagoor with fifty thousand horse and foot; intimation of which the governor immediately despatched by a messenger to the King at Ahmudabad. Kootb Shah was at the time engaged in a course of debauchery, from which he could not be recalled; notwithstanding which, the prime minister, Imad-ool-Moolk, collecting part of the army, made one march from the capital, but was obliged to halt for a whole month, before the equipments could be prepared. The Rana, hearing that the troops had actually moved, retired to Chittoor; and the King returning to Ahmudabad, continued to spend his time in licentious excess.
