Hostilities then ensued between Bijápur and Ahmadnagar in the course of which Kishwar Khán was killed and the Bijápur troops met with great reverses. The same bad fortune attended an expedition to recover Goa from the Portuguese; but Ali Adil Sháh retrieved his military reputation by taking the famous fort of Adoni, which had been considered impregnable. - [Previous: c11.37](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.fleet-1882.c11.37) - [Next: c11.39](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.fleet-1882.c11.39) - [Up: c11](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.fleet-1882.c11) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.fleet-1882.c11.38](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.fleet-1882.c11.38) · Pramāṇa
