Kishwur Khan Lary and Shah Aboo Toorab Shirazy, whose abilities had often been experienced, represented, that the King's desire to humble the pride of the Ray of Beejanuggur was undoubtedly meritorious and highly politic, but could never be effected unless by the union of all the Mahomedan kings of the Deccan, as the revenues of Ramraj, collected from sixty seaports and numerous flourishing cities and districts, amounted to an immense sum; which enabled him to maintain a force, against which no single king of the Mussulmans could hope to contend with the smallest prospect of success. Ally Adil Shah commanded Kishwur Khan to take measures to effect the object of a general league; and an ambassador was accordingly despatched without delay to sound Ibrahim Kootb Shah, and to open to him, if prudent, the designed plan. Ibrahim Kootb Shah, who had been inwardly stung with indignation at the haughty insolence and the usurpations of Ramraj, eagerly acceded to the proposed alliance, and offered to mediate a union between Ally Adil Shah and Hoossein Nizam Shah, and even promised to obtain for the former the fort of Sholapoor, which had been the original cause of their disagreement. - [Previous: 92.2.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.92.2.5) - [Next: 92.2.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.92.2.7) - [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.92.2.6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.92.2.6) · Pramāṇa
