While at Malur the Sultan was informed that "at a distance of fifty farsakhas from his camp was a city called Ganji," containing temples, &c., to which he promptly marched, arriving before the place on 13th March A.D. 1481. He sacked the city and returned. After this the Sultan went to Masulipatam, which he reduced, and thence returned to Kondapalle. This was his last success.
