The ambassador observed, that as the governors of Kalpy, since the time of Sooltan Hooshung of Malwa, had been appointed from that court, the King of Joonpoor had deemed it proper to acquaint Sooltan Mahmood with the circumstances of the defection of Nuseer Khan; stating, that if he had not time to march in person to punish the apostate, Mahmood Shah Shurky begged that he might be permitted to do so in the name of the King of Malwa. Sooltan Mahmood replied, that his own army was at present employed at Mundsoor, in propagating the faith among the infidels, and that he entirely approved of Mahmood Shah’s intention: after which the ambassador having received an honorary dress, and some presents for his master, took his leave. Mahmood Shah Shurky was so gratified with the reception his ambassador met with from Sooltan Mahmood, that on the following year he sent to him twenty of his finest elephants. In the mean time, Mahmood Shah Shurky marched to Kalpy, and assuming the right of a master, expelled Nuseer Khan from the town. - [Previous: 225.3.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.225.3.4) - [Next: 225.3.6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.225.3.6) - [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.225.3.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.225.3.5) · Pramāṇa
