This year the stone wall round Beejapoor was completed. In consequence of the mismanagement of the relatives of Khoonza Sooltana, the government of Moortuza Nizam Shah was much distracted, and Ally Adil Shah formed the project of adding some parts of its territory to his own. In furtherance of this project he presented Kumal Kishwur Khan with the standard of Assud Khan, on which was embroidered an angry lion; and in the beginning of the year 975 detached him, with a body of twenty thousand horse, to invade the Nizam Shahy territories. This general occupied some of the districts with little opposition; and in a short time after he constructed a fort for their defence, and named it Dharoor. Moortuza Nizam Shah, having now attained the age of manhood, wrested the authority out of the hands of his mother, and marched to recover his losses; on which Kishwur Khan shut himself up in the fort, which he had well stocked with stores and provisions, and prepared to sustain a siege. Ankoos Khan, and other chiefs, who had been sent to his support by Ally Adil Shah, whether from hatred of him, from dishonesty, or folly, chose to quit him, under pretence of drawing off the enemy's attention by plundering and laying waste the environs of Ahmudnuggur. - [Previous: 92.3.8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.92.3.8) - [Next: 92.4.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.92.4.2) - [Up: 92.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.92.4) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.92.4.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.92.4.1) · Pramāṇa
