Hājī Kishvar Khān sent from Bījāpur a force which intercepted and put to flight the contingent coming from Golconda and ‘Ain-ul- Mulk Kan‘ānī, commanding the army sent to Naldrug, fell on the enemy near Dhārāseo¹ just before dawn, when Bihzād-ul-Mulk was still drinking. He and his boon companions displayed personal courage, but the army was routed and fled towards the camp of Sayyid Murtazā, who rejoiced in his rival’s discomfiture and ordered a retreat.
