"At this period," says Abdur Razzak, referring to the second half of the year 1443, "Danaik the vizier set out on an expedition into the kingdom of Kalbarga."
At the end of the hall stand chobdars drawn up in line. The Dewan or Danaik settles people's affairs and hears their petitions. There is no appeal. After concluding business the Danaik passes through seven doors into the palace, and entering the last alone, makes his report to the king. "Behind the king's palace are the house and hall allotted to the Danaik.
Seize that wretch. "The whole crowd assembled together threw themselves upon the guilty prince and put him to death. "The only one who escaped was Danaik, the vizier, who previously to this sad event had gone on a voyage to the frontier of Ceylon. The king sent a courier to him to invite him to return, and informed him of what had just occurred.
"Troops were sent out on both sides, which made great ravages on the frontiers of the two kingdoms.... Danaik, after having nit de an invasion upon the frontiers of the country of Kalbarga, and taken several unfortunate prisoners, had retraced his steps...." Firishtah also describes this war of A.D. 1443. He states that Deva Raya wantonly attacked the Bahmani princes
From the terms of the agreement we gather that, though Firishtah does not expressly mention it, tribute had been demanded by the Sultan, and this confirms the account given by Abdur Razzak. It also shows why the "Danaik" in Abdur Razzak's narrative had not returned covered with glory, but merely, having "taken several unfortunate prisoners, had retraced his steps."
