A few days after his accession, he marched towards Kutehr; and was met by Nursing Ray, and other zemindars of those districts, who acknowledged his title. On his arrival at the town of Bisowly, Mohabut Khan of Budaoon also came to meet him, and pay him obedience. Advices at this time arrived, that Ibrahim Shah Shurky was besieging Kalpy, then held by Kadur Khan, the son of Mahomed Khan; but as Dowlut Khan Lody had not sufficient force to march to his relief, he returned to Dehly to recruit his army. Meanwhile Khizr Khan, who had been preparing to invade the capital, advanced in the month of Zeehuj, with 60,000 horse, and a third time invested the citadel of Siry, to which Dowlut Khan had retired. After a siege of four months, Khizr Khan obliged Dowlut Khan Lody, on the 15th of Rubbee-ool-Awul, in the year 817, to surrender. He was instantly confined in Hissar Feroza, where he died, after a nominal reign of one year and three months. his own son, Mullik Sheikh, and on his death, Mullik Sooliman, who professed to be a Syud, was appointed viceroy of Mooltan, an office which descended to his son, Khizr Khan. - [Previous: 46.3.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.46.3.7) - [Next: 46.4.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.46.4.2) - [Up: 46.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.46.4) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.46.4.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.46.4.1) · Pramāṇa
