When Akbar heard of these proceedings, he sent orders to the Khan- khanan 'Abdur Rahim Khan, and the prince Danial Mirza to continue the siege of Ahmadnagar, while he himself marched to the south and occupied Burhanpur, leaving one of his generals to beseige Asir.

Sultan Murad embraced the proposal, and arrived before Ahmadnagar with a consi- derable army. Mian Manjii by this time, having over- come his rivals, repented of his offers, and prepared to, oppose the prince. Having committed the city to the charge of Nasir Khan his deputy, and the care of Chand Bibi, great aunt to Sultan Bahadur, he departed to raise levies, and implore the assistance of Kutb Shah of G61- kanda and 'Adil Shah of Bijapur.
