[Text, vol. iii. p. 713.] Since the time when the Emperor withdrew his gracious attention from the Dakhin, fresh misfortunes had fallen upon that country, and discontent grew rife. Nizamu-l Mulk Burhan was dead, and his son Ibrahim, who succeeded him, took to evil courses. An army marched from Bijapur against him, and on the 16th Amurdad a battle was fought about forty miles from Ahmadnagar, in which he was killed by an arrow. The Bijapur army returned triumphant, and the Nizamu-l Mulki forces were scattered abroad.
