“As for Nizam-ool-Moolk Bheiry,” said he, “who styles himself king, he is one of the slaves of the household of the kings of the Deccan: he shall suffer for daring to march against the lineal descendant of the house of Farook, and a prince who is my son-in-law.” The same language was also made use of to the ambassador of Ahmud Nizam Shah, resident at the Guzerat court, who was informed of the King’s determination to support Adil Khan even at the risk of his crown. Ahmud Nizam Shah, seeing the turn affairs had taken, thought it prudent to retreat, while Sheer Khan and Seif Khan were permitted to retire to Gavulgur. After the arrival of the Guzerat army Adil Khan employed it to levy the tribute from the Raja of Galna, a dependent of the Ahmudnuggur government, from whom he raised a large sum of money; after which he returned to Boorhanpoor, and permitted the Guzerat army to proceed homewards. In the year 923, Adil Khan II. accompanied his father-in-law, Moozuffur Shah, with a force to Mando, and assisted greatly in the Malwa campaign; but as the events of that war are detailed both in the Guzerat and Malwa histories, I have not thought it necessary to repeat them in this place. In the year 926, Adil Khan, falling dangerously ill, died at Boorhanpoor, after a reign of nineteen years. He was succeeded by Meeran Mahomed, his eldest son, by the sister of Bahadur Shah of Guzerat.
