Bádsháh-náma, of 'Abdu-l Hamíd Lahorí (Elliot & Dowson, extracts) 42 - **Language:** English ### [42](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.mughal.jahangir.padshah-namah-abd-al-hamid-lahauri~en-elliot.42) \[Text, vol. i. part 2, p. 160.\] After receiving his orders, Khan-zaman marched to Ahmadnagar, and, after provisioning his force, \* \* he went on towards Junir. Six kos from Ahmadnagar, he learnt that the villain Sahu had made terms with Minaji Bhonsla, and had obtained from him the fort of Mahuli. Having taken Minaji along with him to Junir, Sahu was about to proceed by way of Parganw to Parenda. Khan-zaman marched after him, \* \* but Sahu passed the river Bhunra, and proceeded to Lohganw, a dependency of Puna in the Bijapur territories. Here Khan-zaman halted, because his orders were not to follow Sahu into 'Adil Khan's country. \[\_Capture of the fort of Chamar-gonda by a detachment.\_\] On receiving orders from Court, he entered the Bijapur territories, and plundered and destroyed every inhabited place he came to. On the 27th Shawwal he reached the pass of Dudhdi, where he halted. \* \* Next morning he ascended the pass. In eight days he arrived at Kolapur, and invested the fortress and town. Notwithstanding a brave defence, he quickly took the place. \[\_Successful skirmishes with Sahu and the Bijapuris.\_\] Khan-zaman next marched to Miraj, one of the principal towns in the Bijapur dominions, and plundered it. From thence he made six days' march to Rai-bagh, a very ancient town in that country, where he obtained great booty. After remaining there ten days, he fell back, and the enemy had the audacity to hang upon his rear and harass him with rockets. Eight days' march from Miraj the army encamped on the bank of a river. A party was sent out to forage, and a force was ordered to support it. The enemy attacked this force, and a sharp fight ensued; but the assailants were repulsed and pursued for two kos. While the army was resting on the banks of the river Bhunra, an Imperial farman arrived, directing Khan-zaman to return to the royal presence, to receive instructions for the reduction of the fort of Junir and the punishment of Sahu. The reason for this was that 'Adil Khan had submitted, had agreed to pay a tribute equivalent to twenty lacs in jewels, elephants, etc., and engaged that if Sahu returned and surrendered Junir and the other forts in the Nizam-Shahi territory to the Imperial officers, he would take him into his service; but if Sahu did not do so, he would assist the Imperial forces in reducing the forts and punishing Sahu. \[Capture by Khan-khanan of the forts of Anki and Tanki, Alka and Palka, eighteen kos from Daulatabad.\] \[Farman containing the terms of peace with 'Adil Khan, and letter of the latter in acknowledgment.
