v1.c9.147
A.D. 1630.—During the season of 1629–30 no rain fell in the Deccan, and a famine, accompanied by pestilence, ensued ; but on its being ascertained that Khan Jehan had returned, notwithstanding the obstacles which disease and the difficulty of procuring subsistence presented, Azim Khan marched towards Doulutabad. His army was opposed by that of Nizam Shah, which had taken up a strong position for the purpose, but was driven from it after a resolute defence.
