33.3.2

Muhi-eddin-qhan, surnamed Muzafer-djung, or the "Victorious in War," descended from Saad-ollah-qhan, Vezir to Shah-djehan, and was son of a daughter of Nizam-el-mulk, in whose lifetime he had enjoyed the Viceroyalty of Bidjapoor for several years together. But as soon as his uncle was dead, and he heard that his successor, Nasr-djung, had advanced as far as the Nerbedda with the flower of his troops, he availed himself of the opportunity to assume independence. With this view, he attached to himself Hussein-dost-qhan alias Chenda-sahab, a man of importance in the Carnatic, whose family cut a principal figure in the city of Arcat, and the latter exhorted him to render himself master of that province. This country was these many years governed by Anver-eddin-qhan, surnamed Shahamet-djung, or the "Valiant in War," a native of Gopamau, who had been appointed to the office of Nazem, or Military Governor, by Nizam-el-mulk himself. Hedaiet-muhi-eddin-qhan having assembled a mighty army from the French of Pülcherry, with whom Chenda-sahab had made a treaty, attacked Anver-eddin-qhan, and after a battle in which this Governor exerted himself like a brave man, defeated him intirely. It was on the sixteenth of Shaaban in the year 1162.
