Assud Khan observed, that Boorhan Nizam Shah was the true enemy, who had instigated the rest to hostility, and that if he could be removed, it would be easy to manage the others. He advised, therefore, that peace should be concluded with him, by resigning the five districts dependent on Sholapoor. He recommended, also, that separate overtures should be made to Ramraj, and presents sent to propitiate his friendship; observing, that small concessions would suffice to ensure his forbearance, as his own country, the Carnatic, was as yet by no means in a settled state, many of the dependent rays being still in revolt. In conclusion, he stated, that when free from the attacks of these two powers, Assud Khan would himself undertake the chastisement of Kootb Shah, and promised in a short time to recover all the places he had taken from Beejapoor. - [Previous: 91.3.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.91.3.2) - [Next: 91.3.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.91.3.4) - [Up: 91.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.91.3) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.91.3.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.91.3.3) · Pramāṇa
