He proposes, therefore, to continue the narrative by commemorating, in the first place, the deeds of the illustrious monarchs who have reigned over Beejapoor; for the prosperity of which dynasty he constantly prays to Almighty God. - [Previous: 87](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.87) - [Next: 88.1.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.88.1.2) - [Up: 88.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.88.1) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.88.1.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.88.1.1) · Pramāṇa
