Bádsháh-náma, of 'Abdu-l Hamíd Lahorí (Elliot & Dowson, extracts) 40 - **Language:** English ### [40](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.jahangir.padshah-namah-abd-al-hamid-lahauri~en-elliot.40) \[Text, vol. i. part 2, p. 151.\] On the 8th Shawwál, a royal order reached Khán-daurán near Udgír, informing him that 'Ádil Khán had been remiss in his obedience and payment of tribute; that Khán-jahán had been directed to invade his territory by way of Sholápúr, Khán-zamán by way of Indápúr; and that he, Khán-daurán, must march against him by way of Bídar, and lay waste his country. Khán-daurán accordingly left his baggage on the banks of the Wanjira, in charge of a party of men whose horses were ineffective. In the beginning of New Year's night he set forth, and at five o'clock reached Kalyán, the most flourishing place in that country. The inhabitants were quite unprepared, and near 2000 of them fell under his attack. Many were taken prisoners, and great booty was secured. \[\_Naráinpur, Bhálki, and Maknáth, taken in succession and plundered. 2000 of the enemy defeated near Bídar.\_\] From Bhálkí Khán-daurán marched to Deoní, three kos from Udgír, and from thence towards Bíjápúr, plundering and laying waste all the country. He then attacked and sacked the two great towns of Sultánpúr and Hírapúr. From Hírapúr he advanced to the river Bhúnra. A party of the enemy then drew near and threatened him, \* \* but was defeated. After this, Khán-daurán marched to Fírozábád, twelve kos from Bíjápúr. A letter then arrived from Mukarramat Khán, informing him that the Bíjápúrís had broken down the tank of Sháhpúr, and had taken all the inhabitants of the country round Bíjápúr into that city, and that no water or food was to be found in the country. \* \* \* A letter from the Emperor then reached him, to the effect that 'Adil Khan had sent two envoys to make some representations about the forts of Usa and Udgir; but as these belonged to Nizamu-l Mulk, the Emperor would not present them to him. A report received subsequently from Mukarramat Khan stated that 'Adil Khan had abandoned his claim to these forts, and had returned to his obedience. Khan-dauran was therefore directed to desist from ravaging the Bijapur territories, and to lay siege to Usa and Udgir. On the 23rd Muharram Khan-dauran marched against Udgir. - [Previous: 39.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.jahangir.padshah-namah-abd-al-hamid-lahauri~en-elliot.39.4) - [Next: 41](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.jahangir.padshah-namah-abd-al-hamid-lahauri~en-elliot.41) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.jahangir.padshah-namah-abd-al-hamid-lahauri~en-elliot.40](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.jahangir.padshah-namah-abd-al-hamid-lahauri~en-elliot.40) · Pramāṇa
