Shah Hoossein Anjoo failed in every argument in prevailing on Hoossein Nizam Shah to give up either place; and Ally Adil Shah sent another ambassador to Ahmudnuggur, representing that passion and obstinacy in the discussion of political questions of such importance did not become great kings; and that to prevent ill consequences, he trusted Hoossein Nizam Shah would see the justice of giving up the forts, when the friendship between their states would increase; but if not, he might expect the march of an army into his dominions, which should be laid waste without mercy. Hoossein Nizam Shah, inflamed by this message, sent back a reply so indecent as to be unfit to relate; which increased the anger of Ally Adil Shah to such a degree, that changing the colour of his canopy and standard from yellow to green, the colour of Hoossein Nizam Shah, by way of defiance (according to the custom of the Deccan), challenged him to come and reclaim his honour. - [Previous: 92.1.8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.92.1.8) - [Next: 92.2.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.92.2.2) - [Up: 92.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.92.2) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.92.2.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.92.2.1) · Pramāṇa
