Khwaja Hajy, a man much esteemed in those days for his good principles, was appointed second in command in this expedition, which, (according to the authority of Kazy Ahmud Ghufary, who composed the Jehan-Ara,) in the beginning of the year 706, marched from Dehly, consisting of an army of 100,000 horse. This expedition was reinforced on the way by the troops of Ein-ool-Moolk Mooltany, governor of Malwa, and Aluf Khan, governor of Guzerat. Kowla Devy, one of the King's wives, and who has been before mentioned, hearing of this expedition, addressing herself to the King, told him, that before she was taken prisoner, she had borne two daughters to her former husband. That one of them (the eldest,) she heard, had since died, but that the other, whose name was Dewul Devy, and who was only four years old when she left her, was still alive. She, therefore, begged that the King would give orders to his generals to endeavour to get possession of her and send her to Dehly. Mullik Naib Kafoor passed through Malwa, and having encamped on the borders of the Deccan, sent the King's order to Kurrun Ray, to deliver up his daughter Dewul Devy, which was now urged as a pretext for commencing hostilities in case of refusal. The Raja could by no means be brought to agree to this demand. - [Previous: 37.7.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.37.7.5) - [Next: 37.7.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.37.7.7) - [Up: 37.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.37.7) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.37.7.6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.37.7.6) · Pramāṇa
