v3.c29.38

‘Alī now addressed to Husain a more peremptory request for the surrender of Sholāpur and Kaliyāni, and on receiving an insulting reply prepared to enforce his demand. He marched northwards, accompanied by Sadāshivarāya with a large army, and was joined on his frontier by Ibrāhīm Qutb Shāh. As the allies advanced towards Ahmadnagar, Husain, leaving a garrison in the fortress, retired to Paithan, on the Godāvarī, and summoned to his aid Daryā ‘Imād Shāh, who was, however, dissuaded from joining him by Khānjahān, brother of ‘Alī Barīd Shāh of Bīdar, who joined ‘Alī ‘Ādil Shāh, while Daryā’s minister, Jahāngīr Khān the Deccani, invaded Ahmadnagar with the army of Berar.
