He soon changed his policy. Notwithstanding the terrible famine which was devastating the country, owing to a failure of the periodical rains in A.D. 1629 and the following year, Azam Khán, Sháh Jahán's general, carried on operations against Ahmadnagar, which was brought to the brink of ruin. The position of the rival state was at first not unpleasing to Muhammad Ádil Sháh, but afterwards he began to perceive what would be the probable consequence to himself of the subversion of the Nizám Sháh kingdom by the Mughals. He accordingly made an alliance with Murtaza Nizám Sháh, and sent an army under his general, Randullah Khán, which engaged the Mughals and was defeated. At the same time the Ahmadnagar king was assassinated and his state placed at the mercy of the Mughals by the traitor Fatih Khán, so that Sháh Jahán was enabled to direct his whole attention to Bijápur. - [Previous: c11.61](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.fleet-1882.c11.61) - [Next: c11.63](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.fleet-1882.c11.63) - [Up: c11](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.fleet-1882.c11) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.fleet-1882.c11.62](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.fleet-1882.c11.62) · Pramāṇa
