81.1.1

By the exertions of Ghaziu-d din Khan Firoz Jang, and other renowned warriors, and through want of supplies, the garrison of Bijapur was in great distress, and many men and horses had perished. Sharza Khan and other nobles asked for terms on behalf of Sikandar, and at the beginning of the thirtieth year of the reign, in Zi-l ka'da, 1097 (October, 1686), the keys of the fortress were surrendered to Aurangzeb. The conquest was celebrated with great display, and Sikandar was placed in confinement in the fort of Daulatabad, a suitable provision being made for his support.
