After the disaster of Tiflis Vali Herakl did not return toDar-al-Sorur. He settled in Kakhet and died after two years, in 1798/1213. He held thepost of Vali for . years. After his death his eldest son Georgi ascended tothe throne. His brothers Yulon Khan, Parnavaz, and Alexander Mirza were not content withthis and revolted.

Alexander Mirza gained control over the districts of Qazakh, Borchallu, Shamsaddin (Shamsaddinlu), and ignored Georgi. The others also refused to join him and inthis way kept away from him.

Consequently Vali had to send a messenger and hire [Lesghin]troops in his support. With Lesghin troops he and the Georgian army of Kakhet passedthrough qishlagh of Kesaman and invaded the land of Qazakh. Alexander Mirza wasunable to resist him and fled to Karabagh. Thence, he went to the Qizilbashs' land. Vali punished some evildoers of Qazakh, Borchallu tribes and sent his troops to plunder theregions of Kars, from there he was back to Dar-al-Sorur, Tiflis.
