During the same year he repaired to the town of Nalcha, where he built some beautiful palaces and musjids; but his enterprising mind was ill calculated to indulge long in such pursuits: he assembled his army, and was about to proceed towards Chittoor. At this time he heard that Nuseer, the son of Abdool Kadur of Kalpy, having proclaimed his independence, had assumed the title of Nuseer Shah, and adopted principles in opposition to the tenets of the true faith. Sooltan Mahmood now directed his arms to that quarter. As soon as Nuseer Khan heard of the movement of the King, he deputed his tutor, Ally Khan, to wait on Sooltan Mahmood with rich presents, which were all rejected, and the ambassador was not even allowed to enter the camp; till on the arrival of the King of Malwa at Julalpoor, in consequence of the repeated entreaties of his father, Azim Hoomayoon, Ally Khan was admitted to the presence, his offerings were received, and the submission of Nuseer Khan accepted. Sooltan Mahmood, however, marched on within a short distance of Kalpy, before he shaped his course towards Chittoor. After having crossed the Bunas river, he sent on detachments of light troops to lay waste the country. - [Previous: 225.2.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.225.2.7) - [Next: 225.3.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.225.3.2) - [Up: 225.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.225.3) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.225.3.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.225.3.1) · Pramāṇa
