After much precaution, he fixed upon two Hindoos, common servants of no note, to be his confidents on this important occasion. These he sent privately to Ein-ool-Moolk, the Ameer-ool-Omra, to complain of the unreasonable conduct of Dilawur Khan; and he received in answer solemn assurances of his support and assistance. After much negotiation conducted through the two Hindoos, it was agreed that the King should, on a certain night when Dilawur Khan was asleep, repair suddenly to the camp of Ein-ool-Moolk, which was only a mile distant, where he was to be joined by him, by Alum Khan, and by Ankoos Khan, who would faithfully obey his commands. Ibrahim Adil Shah, relying on these promises, on the night of the fourteenth of Rujub, 998, came out of his private apartments, and commanded Kufshdar Khan to bring him a horse. The keeper of the stables refused obedience, saying, that he dared not comply without the orders of Dilawur Khan. Kufshdar Khan, provoked at this insolence, gave him several blows; upon which the grooms of the stables became terrified, and brought horses immediately. The King, mounting, issued forth, attended by his servants from his tents. - [Previous: 93.4.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.93.4.3) - [Next: 93.4.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.93.4.5) - [Up: 93.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.93.4) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.93.4.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.93.4.4) · Pramāṇa
