‘Alī, after his defeat, concluded on December 17, 1571, a new treaty with the Portuguese, and Murtazā, after losing 3000 men in one day before Chaul, entered into an offensive and defensive alliance with Dom Sebastião, King of Portugal. Chingīz Khān, the only officer who had refrained, during the siege of Chaul, from treasonable correspondence with the Portuguese, became lieutenant of the Ahmadnagar kingdom, which received a further accession of strength by the return from Bījāpur of the able and energetic Sayyid Murtazā of Sabzāvār.
