The commander of the strong fortress of Parenda, formerly included in the Nizām Shāhī dominions, had some time before this made his submission to Muhammad ‘Ādil Shāh, on whose behalf the fortress was now held. Shāh Shujā‘ and Mahābat Khān were ordered to capture it and unsuccessfully besieged it for some months in 1634 owing to the activity of the army of Bījāpur, and they retired to Burhānpur. Mahābat Khān was blamed for the failure of the enterprise and both he and the prince were recalled to court.
