The Aravidu Dynasty of Vijayanagara, Vol. I v1.c11.46

v1.c11.46

It would appear that Ambar Khan, much enraged at the alienation of his estate, once met Prince Ibrahim in the streets of Vijayanagara and charged him with depriving him of it. Ibrahim replied that monarchs were at liberty to dispose of their own property, and that Rama Raya had chosen to give him the estate. The Prince proceeded on his way, whereupon the Abyssinian called him a coward for refusing to dispute his title with the sword. Ibrahim Qutb Shah warned him of his imprudence; but the Prince’s coolness only added fury to the anger of Ambar Khan, who proceeded to abuse him all the more. At this the Prince dismounted and drew; the Abyssinian rushed upon him; but Ibrahim killed his antagonist. The latter’s brother, standing by, insisted on taking up the cause, and he also fell a victim to his temerity.¹
