When Ibráhim’s life was despaired of Muhammad Kishwar Khán, son of Asad Khán and governor of the districts of Hukkeri, Ráybág, and Belgaum, a man of great influence, moved towards Miraj to secure the succession to prince Ali. This step enabled the latter, on his father’s death, to mount the throne without opposition; and he rewarded the services of Kishwar Khán by making him commander-in-chief. His first object was to get Sholápur out of the hands of the Ahmadnagar king, and he sent an embassy to endeavour to effect this purpose, Kishwar Khán being sent at the same time to Vijayanagar to negotiate a treaty of alliance with Rám Ráj. The latter embassy was more successful than the other; and so close became the alliance between Bijápur and Vijayanagar, that Ali Ádil Khán paid a visit to Rám Ráj, whose wife adopted him as her son. In the following year the two kings invaded Ahmadnagar, where they met with complete success. Hussain Nizám Sháh managed after a time to buy off the Bijápur king, but immediately afterwards, relying on the aid of the Golkonda king, renewed hostilities. The result was that he was again attacked by the Bijápur and Vijayanagar forces, which were joined by the Golkonda king who threw over his ally, and the town of Ahmadnagar was besieged by the three kings. Owing to various causes, one of the principal being the disgust of the Musalmáns at the conduct of the Hindu prince and his forces, the siege was raised and Rám Ráj returned to his own dominions, which he had considerably augmented at the cost of his allies.² - [Previous: c11.34](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.fleet-1882.c11.34) - [Next: c11.36](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.fleet-1882.c11.36) - [Up: c11](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.fleet-1882.c11) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.fleet-1882.c11.35](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.fleet-1882.c11.35) · Pramāṇa
