It is written in the history of Malwa, that another battle happened between these two monarchs, on account of Nursing Ray's calling Sooltan Hooshung to his assistance, when Ahmud Shah besieged Kehrla; but as the writers of the Deccan do not record it, God only knows the truth. Ahmud Shah Bahmuny, on his return from this campaign, having arrived at Bidur, took the amusement of hunting; and coming to a beautiful spot, finely watered, resolved to found a city to be called Ahmudabad. A citadel of great extent and strength was erected on the site of Bidur, the ancient capital of the princes of the country, who, according to the Hindoo books, written five thousand years ago, possessed the whole extent of Murhut, Carnatic, and Tulingana. Raja Bheem-Sein was one of the most celebrated of this house; and the history of the loves of his daughter and Raja Nul, King of Malwa, are famous through all Hindoostan. The story of Nul and Dumun has been translated from the Hindoo language by Sheikh Feizy, into Persian verse, at the command of the Emperor Akbur. - [Previous: 74.2.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.74.2.7) - [Next: 74.2.9](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.74.2.9) - [Up: 74.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.74.2) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.74.2.8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.74.2.8) · Pramāṇa
