In the year 918, Kootb-ool-Moolk assuming independence, ejected the King's name from the Khootba, notwithstanding which he continued to send to Mahmood Shah privately, every year, a present in money. In 920, Ameer Bereed having levied a great army with the royal treasures, marched with the King, and took Koolburga from the garrison of Ismael Adil Shah, conferring it on Jehangeer Khan, the son of the late Dustoor Deenar, for whom he procured the title of Dustoor-ool-Moolk. This chief having collected troops recovered all the forts on the east of the Beema river, from Sagur to Nuldroog, which had been held by his father; and Ameer Bereed receiving reinforcements from Mullik Ahmud Bheiry and Kootb-ool-Moolk crossed the river with twenty thousand men, and proceeded by regular marches to Beejapoor. Ismael Adil Khan gave him battle near the city, and totally defeated him, so that he fled in the greatest confusion; while Mahmood Shah (who had fallen from his horse and received a severe bruise), together with his son Ahmud Khan, were left defenceless on the field, and taken prisoners. Ismael Adil Shah, observing the respect due to crowned heads, treated the King with attention, and provided him with every convenience becoming his high rank. - [Previous: 79.5.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.79.5.1) - [Next: 79.5.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.79.5.3) - [Up: 79.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.79.5) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.79.5.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.79.5.2) · Pramāṇa
