Nor did the daughter long survive, for in the space of two years she also fell a victim to grief. Mahomed Ghoory, having conferred the government of Mooltan and Oocha upon one Ally Kirmany, returned to Ghizny. In the year 574, he again marched to Oocha and Mooltan, and from thence continued his route through the sandy desert to Guzerat. The Prince Bhim-dew (a lineal descendant from Brahma Dew of Guzerat, who opposed Mahmood Ghiznevy,) advanced with an army to resist the Mahomedans, and defeated them with great slaughter. They suffered many hardships in their retreat, before they reached Ghizny. - [Previous: 23.2.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.23.2.2) - [Next: 23.2.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.23.2.4) - [Up: 23.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.23.2) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.23.2.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.23.2.3) · Pramāṇa
