Buleel Khan, who had by his desertion from Yekhlass Khan contributed greatly to his exaltation, was adopted by Dilawur Khan as his son, and retaining only about one hundred foreigners and sixty Abyssinians, he banished all the rest from the King's dominions. Shah Abool Hussun, the saviour of Beejapoor, who had been sent prisoner to a hill-fort subsequent to the siege by Yekhlass Khan, was first blinded by Dilawur Khan, and then put to death, as was also Hajy Basheer, a favourite of the late king; and the power of the Regent Chand Beeby was so completely nullified, that none of the court any longer attended to her commands. The new minister by stratagem got into his power Ghalib Khan, governor of the fortress of Adony, who had rebelled, and caused him to be blinded. He established the Soony ceremonies of religion in Beejapoor. He ruled the kingdom with absolute sway and authority in every department for eight years, during which period he restored the pecuniary resources of the government to a flourishing condition. - [Previous: 93.2.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.93.2.7) - [Next: 93.3.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.93.3.1) - [Up: 93.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.93.2) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.93.2.8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.93.2.8) · Pramāṇa
