98.3.7

In the year 938, Ismael Adil Shah having contemplated the conquests of the forts of Kulliany and Kand'har from Ameer Bereed Shah, that prince solicited aid from Boorhan Nizam Shah, who wrote an imperious letter to Ismael Adil Shah, requiring him immediately to desist. This again brought on the disputes about the boundaries; and Ismael Adil Shah observes in his answer; "Have you so soon forgotten your late condition at Ahmudnuggur? If you pride yourself on the tattered rags of the King of Malwa, the boast is ridiculous. Nor need you be too vain of the title of Shah, conferred on you by the King of Guzerat, since I derive my royal lineage from a race of sovereigns, and am so styled by the kings of Persia, descendants of the prophet. I advise you to repent of your folly and arrogance, or I shall compel you to quit your enjoyments in the Bagh-i-Nizam, and try how you like the clashing of steel in the field of battle." Boorhan Nizam Shah, though really ashamed of his conduct, yet marched directly to Oomruzpoor, where he remained some days to collect his forces, and then crossed the border of Ismael Adil Shah's territory. The latter gave Boorhan Nizam Shah a total defeat, and obliged him to retreat to Ahmudnuggur, with the loss of all his baggage, and nearly four thousand men, a disaster which fully humbled his pride.
