The King's lately assumed illness on his retreat from Beejanuggur, at a time when he was hemmed in by the enemy, had given rise to a report of his death, which circulated throughout every part of his dominions, and induced several adventurers to excite disturbances. Among this number was Beiram Khan Mazinderany, whom the late King had honoured with the appellation of Son. Finding the country of Dowlutabad empty of troops, he combined with Govind Dew Maratta, a chief of the Naiks, to raise the standard of revolt; and some of the chiefs of Berar secretly sent troops to assist him, as also did the Raja of Buglana. Elated by his success, he appropriated to his own use some years' revenues of Mahrut and Berar, that Mahomed Shah had deposited in the fortress of Dowlutabad, with which he levied troops. Most of the towns and districts of Mahrut fell into his hands; which having divided among his adherents, he, in a short time, collected nearly ten thousand horse and foot. - [Previous: 67.4.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.67.4.2) - [Next: 67.4.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.67.4.4) - [Up: 67.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.67.4) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.67.4.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.67.4.3) · Pramāṇa
