In this state of affairs Ahmud Nizam Shah applied for aid to Imad-ool-Moolk Gavully, the ruler of Berar, and fell back on Joonere. Jehangeer Khan, meanwhile, occupied Peitun; and this movement induced Ahmud Nizam Shah to approach the Jeeoor Ghat, where he was reinforced by Nusseer-ool-Moolk Guzeratty, with a body of troops from Kadurabad, and a convoy of provisions; upon which, having secured the Jeeoor pass, he remained among the hills. Jehangeer Khan crossed the hills by the ghat at Teesgam, and encamped at Bingar, where both armies remained within six coss of each other for nearly a month; when Jehangeer Khan, fancying himself secure during the rains, gave himself up to his comforts and pleasures; an example which soon spread throughout his army.
