When the emperor Akbar a few years afterwards arrived at Mando, with the avowed intention of invading the Da khan, Bahadur Khan instead of adopting the policy of his father in relying on the honor of Akbar, and going with an army to co-operate with him, shut himself up in the fort of Asir, and com- menced preparations to withstand a siege. 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. The blockade of this fortress continued for a length of time, till it surrendered, and Bahadur Khan, the last of the Fariiki dynasty hum- bled himself before the throne of Akbar in the year 1599 A.

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. Sultan Murad beseiged Ahmadnagar, on the 16th of December 1595 O. S., 23rd Eabi II, 1004 A. H., which was gallantly defended. Breaches were made, but were immediately repaired by the heroic conduct of Chand Bibi, who covering herself with a veil, headed the troops. At length in the month of March 1596, Rajab, 1004 A.
