He therefore represented to the King of Malwa, Sooltan Mahmood Khiljy, that Alla-ood-Deen Shah had been long dead, but that the ministers, pretending he was still alive, had resolved to destroy the principal nobles, and to divide the kingdom among themselves; that under these circumstances, if the King of Malwa chose to undertake the project, the provinces of Berar and Tulingana would fall without a blow into his hands. Sooltan Mahmood, crediting these assurances so flattering to his ambition, marched, in conjunction with the ruler of Kandeish, in the year 857, to the Deccan. They were joined by Sikundur Khan, who advanced with a body of one thousand horse to meet them. - [Previous: 75.5.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.75.5.2) - [Next: 75.5.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.75.5.4) - [Up: 75.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.75.5) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.75.5.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.75.5.3) · Pramāṇa
