By the ability of Moostufa Khan Ardistany, who had been appointed prime minister, the fort was taken in six months; and when the surrounding country was perfectly reduced to order, Ally Adil Shah, at the persuasions of this minister, carried his arms against Bunkapoor. - [Previous: 92.4.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.92.4.3) - [Next: 92.4.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.92.4.5) - [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.92.4.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.92.4.4) · Pramāṇa
