Nursing Ray, seeing no other alternative, went with his family to the King's camp at Elichpoor, where expressing contrition for his conduct, and acknowledging himself the King's vassal, offered even to give up Kehrla itself; but he hoped his Majesty, after receiving his submission, would admit him among the number of his tributaries, and overlook past events; in consideration of which he promised to pay every year the tribute fixed by Alla-ood-Deen Hussun Gungoo. Feroze Shah, becoming reconciled to Nursing Ray, gave him a dress of honour, richly embroidered with gold; and receiving one of his daughters into his haram, together with a present of forty-five elephants, a considerable sum of money, and other valuables, he directed the siege of Kehrla to be discontinued. On the junction of Khan Khanan and Meer Fuzl Oolla's divisions, Nursing Ray was permitted to proceed home, and the King returned in triumph to Koolburga. As this victory was chiefly owing to the exertions of Meer Fuzl Oolla, that nobleman was promoted to the command of the Berar army. - [Previous: 73.3.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.73.3.2) - [Next: 73.3.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.73.3.4) - [Up: 73.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.73.3) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.73.3.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.73.3.3) · Pramāṇa
