Syud Yoosoof Mushedy and Abool Fuzl shortly after reduced the forts of Narnala, Gavul, Kehrla, and other forts in the province of Berar. At this time the Prince Moorad Mirza, falling dangerously ill, died in the month of Shuval, 1007, and was buried at Shapoor. The corpse was afterwards removed to Agra, and laid by the side of Hoomayoon, the Prince's grandfather. The King's grief for the death of his son increased his desire of conquering the Deccan, as a means of diverting his mind. In the mean time, the nobles of the Nizam Shahy dominions gained some slight advantages over the Moguls. They defeated Sheer Khwaja, who occupied Beer, and besieged him in the fort; while Syud Yoosoof Khan and Sheikh Abool Fuzl considered their force so inferior in numbers, that they durst not venture to attack the Deccanies.
