Dilāvar Khān’s defeat had led to his downfall, and he fled from Bījāpur and entered the service of Burhān II. Ibrāhīm II protested against his employment by Burhān and demanded the restitution of 300 elephants taken at Dhārāseo. Burhān’s reply was a declaration of war, and on March 15, 1592, he invaded the kingdom of Bījāpur and restored the old Hindu fort to the south of the Bhīma. A force of Marāthā cavalry sent against him cut off his supplies and compelled him to retire towards his own frontier to revictual his troops, and the army of Bījāpur followed him and inflicted a severe defeat on him. Muhammad Qulī Shāh and Raja ‘Alī Khān exerted themselves to restore peace, and Ibrāhīm accepted their conditions, which obliged Burhān to superintend in person the demolition of his works at Mangalvedha.
