The King, with the consent of Kasim Bereed, agreed to pardon Bahadur Geelany, to restore some of the conquered places, and to confirm him in his remaining possessions, if he would make atonement in person, pay a sum of money, and present two elephants. Neamut Oolla wrote to his master the result of his embassy, and advised him to repair to the royal camp without delay. Bahadur Khan, however, conceiving that the King's generosity proceeded from weakness, rejected the terms. He shortly after made an attack on the King's baggage, and declared his intention to have the Khootba read in his own name at the capital of Ahmudabad Bidur during that year, and in the next in Guzerat. Mahmood Shah, enraged at this insolence, marched from Walwa to Kolhar, which he reduced; and following up his successes, Bahadur Khan's affairs declined daily, till at length he fled to the fortress of Punala, the strongest place in his possession. The King not wishing to sit down before it halted at Kolapore, intending to proceed from thence to Dabul, and amuse himself on the sea; upon which Bahadur Khan quitted Punala, with a design to lie in wait for the King on his route. - [Previous: 79.3.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.79.3.7) - [Next: 79.4.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.79.4.2) - [Up: 79.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.79.4) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.79.4.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.79.4.1) · Pramāṇa
