v3.c29.87

Ibrāhīm ‘Ādil Shāh II was but nine years of age when he succeeded to the throne, and his education became the charge of Chānd Bībī, the widow of ‘Alī I and sister of Murtazā Nizām Shāh, but the regency was assumed by Kāmil Khān the Deccani, who slighted her and treated her with disrespect. Chānd Bībī, a high-spirited woman, had recourse to another Deccani, Hājī Kishvar Khān, son of that Kamāl Khān who had perished in Ismā‘īl’s reign. Kishvar Khān compelled Kāmil Khān to flee from the citadel, and in attempting to make his escape from Bījāpur he was intercepted and beheaded.
